Web beacons can be very small and invisible to the user, but in general, any electronic image displayed as part of a web page or email, including HTML-based content, can serve as a web beacon. We may use web beacons to count visitors to the web pages on the Site or to monitor how our users navigate the Site, and we may include web beacons in emails to count how many sent messages were actually opened, acted upon, or forwarded.
