Only need to sign up for informed delivery via website, then the service sends e-mail and/or texts. Have rarely needed to use their site directly.
Still it’s a major oversight on their part. I wonder if the tracking pixel is loaded as part of “social login” or “social media integration”.
Yet another reason I don’t use that shit, and heavily block them across all sites.
- sphars 2y agoCan anyone confirm if there are tracking pixels or similar on the emails themselves? I too never visit the website, I just look at the emails.
- spike021 2y agoSome of the email themselves have ads too. For instance the latest one for me has a Chase banking ad.

You can configure email client to not load any remote content and the they will still get rendered pretty nicely. I was pretty surprised to see those attachments in the first place, because some of the scans were quite large (a few hundreds KBs).
- xyst 2y agoI can't say for sure, but haven't worried about it since I opted to _not_ load remote content in e-mail messages.
