Email Tracking and User Engagement
Our emails may include a "web beacon pixel" that helps us identify if and when an email is opened and track interactions such as link clicks within the email. This data helps us tailor our communication to better suit your interests. If you prefer not to have the pixel track your activity, you can choose to view emails in plain text or disable images.
