Pixels

Pixels are small graphic files that contain a unique identifier that lets us know when someone visited our website. This allows us, for example, to monitor visitor traffic patterns from one page within our website to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, determine if a visitor arrived correctly to the website from an online advertisement that is shown, as well as improve the performance of the website and measure the success of marketing campaigns. 

While you may not be able to specifically reject or disable these tracking technologies, in many cases these technologies rely on cookies to function properly; consequently, in such cases, rejecting cookies will affect the functionality of these technologies.
