"Google’s own secure proxy servers"
will that mean that people who track me opening their email with 1px images won't be able to track that? I hope this is the case...
- prezjordan 13y agoSure looks like it. I wonder how analytics companies feel about this. It's important to know how many people are opening your emails.
- antr 13y agoI guess the compromise is giving the user the option to choose: (i) I would like to be tracked, (ii) I don't want to be tracked. I genuinly dislike people who send me personal/work emails with tracking mechanisms...
- timdorr 13y agoThe request is still made (now via a proxy), so email opens can still be tracked. But other identifiable information (IP, user agent, etc) can't.
