What about other tracking technologies, such as web beacons?

Other technologies such as web beacons (also known as pixel tags or clear gifs), tracking URLs, or software development kits (SDKs) are used for the same purposes. Web beacons are small graphic files that contain a unique identifier. They allow us to recognize when someone uses our services or opens an email that we have sent. Tracking-URLs are user-defined, generated links that help us understand where traffic comes from on our sites. SDKs are small snippets of code in applications that work like cookies or web beacons.
