Web beacons and other technologies
Web beacons or tracking pixels or clear gifs are another tool we employ. A tracking pixel is a transparent graphic image that is placed on a web page and, in combination with a cookie, allows us to collect information regarding the use of the web page that contains the tracking pixel. We use tracking pixels to trigger ads on participating websites based on activity tracked from the browser on a device used to visit the Republic Platform. We also use them to tell when an advertisement we run on another website has been clicked on by Republic Platform visitors and use that information to judge which advertisements are more appealing to users.
Tracking pixels can also be used for third party web analytics and are used in HTML-based emails we send you to track which emails are opened and which links you click. The information collected from web beacons allows for more accurate reporting and improvement of the Services.
