Pixel Tracking allows you to use a single pixel (typically 1x1 and transparent) in web pages, emails, advertisements, etc., to track user behaviors and interactions. When a user visits a webpage or opens an email containing a tracking pixel, the pixel sends data back to the tracker, allowing website owners, advertisers, and marketers to gather valuable insights.
The ATS allows you to enter this pixel tracking code within your application templates. The pixel tracking code is typically generated/provided by the tracker for you to copy/paste into websites/templates. The pixel tracking may also be referred to differently, such as the Insight Tags (LinkedIn) or Conversion Trackers (Indeed, Twitter, etc.).
