No they’re called COOKIES and all the websites use them constantly. It’s a post privacy world folks, you’re just a data point.

Actually we use tracking pixels. A single pixel image that gets loaded. Just loading it tells us a ton about the person using the page.

15 years ago single pixel images were EVIL ways that criminal users of the internet spied on its users or superstitiously exchanged info, along with hiding documents/data invisibly inside of the data that makes up a larger image.

Now its just how everybody does business.
