Understanding Pixels on Kea
A pixel, within the context of Kea, refers to a minuscule image embedded in web pages and emails. To render this pixel in web pages and emails, a call is made to our servers. This call serves the purpose of gathering essential information about your device and visit, contributing to a more personalized and effective user experience.

- Information Gathering: The server call initiated by the pixel provides valuable insights into your device and visit. This information helps Kea understand user behavior and preferences.
- Interaction Tracking: Pixels are employed to track user interactions with email content, web content, and various elements such as ads or posts.
- Cookie Placement: Pixels play a role in enabling both Kea and third-party entities to place cookies on your browser. This supports the implementation of features that enhance user engagement and functionality.
By utilizing pixels, Kea aims to gain deeper insights into user engagement, allowing for the delivery of more targeted and relevant content. This technology enhances the platform's ability to tailor its offerings, optimize user interactions, and continually improve the overall user experience.
