For those of you worried about how you're being monitored, here are a few tips so your emails are less like Big Brother:
Tracking pixels can report the times and dates their associated email was opened, as well as the location of the device used, and the email client involved. That's a lot of data to feed back to a third-party that you might not know much about.
You might not be able to do much about the use of these tracking pixels, but you can take steps to stop them from functioning, and to see which messages include them—so you know which people and which companies are taking a particular interest in you, and you can choose who to allow and who not to.
