Also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs, web beacons are tiny graphics with unique identifiers embedded in web pages and emails. They track when content is viewed and measure user engagement.

9.2 Local Storage

HTML5 local storage allows websites to store data locally on your device. Unlike cookies, this data does not expire automatically and is not transmitted to the server with every request. We use local storage to improve performance and user experience.

9.3 Fingerprinting

Device fingerprinting collects information about your device configuration (browser version, screen resolution, installed fonts, etc.) to create a unique identifier. We may use fingerprinting for security and fraud prevention purposes.
