Just want to throw out that pixel trackers are EXTREMELY common - you probably have an insane amount in your inbox now and a lot of email software uses them by default. Not saying this is okay, just giving that context.
- chooseaname 8y agoI turn off downloading images by default. They'll have to work harder to know if I read my email.
- jhayward 8y agoAt one time gmail went ahead and fetched the images anyway, but didn't display them. The tracking still could record the "open event" although it didn't get a hit directly from the user's browser, rather through Google's image cache server. I don't know if that's still the case.
