What is a tracking pixel?

What is it?

A tracking pixel is nothing but a little piece of html-code containing a transparent image (1x1 pixel dimension), that can be inserted in any banner, blog, e-mail or webpage that supports html. Whenever a user sees the content through their browser, the tracking pixel will be requested from our server. Each request is written into a log-file that we can scan through and use for building reports.
