Email pixel tracking is an industry standard these days. Every time the email loads the pixel, it counts +1. Some platforms like Gmail partially obfuscate it.

- razemio 3y agoI am totally out of the loop when it comes to these things. My client always opens in plain text or html render with JS and external content disabled. I believe this is true for most clients. On the other hand security scanners, browsers engines and other Middleware stuff can trigger such a counter without any user interaction if I am not mistaken.
- minsc_and_boo 3y agoThe pixel is just an image, so unless you disable email images loading by default, the server will still count you. Pre-caching will sometimes mess with the counters though, making the counts lower than the actual.
- razemio 3y agoI understand. The last 3 email clients I used do not load images by default (that what's included in external sources [previous comment]).
