We might also use techniques such as pixels, which we don't refer to as cookies because they don't store information on your device. A pixel is an electronic file embedded into an email which allows us to see if the message was delivered, if and when you read it, and what you clicked on. We sometimes place these in marketing emails and newsletters. We use similar technology to get the same information about push notifications we send you, too.
We use Server-to-server tracking by generating and storing a unique identifier when you click a tracking link or are shown an advertisement. When you later make an action such as a website visit or a purchase, the unique identifier is matched. This allows us to monitor the effectiveness of our advertisement.
The following data points are shared with our partners Facebook and Google via server-to-server tracking to improve our marketing tracking and capabilities:
| Key Type: Key Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Email:em | An email address in lower case. Example joe@eg.com |
| Phone:ph | A phone number. Include only digits with country code, area code and number. Remove symbols, letters and any leading zeros. In addition, always include the country code as part of the customer phone number, even if all the data is from the same country, as the country code is used for matching. For example, the number 1 must always precede a phone number for the united states. Example 16505551212. |
| Last name:ln | A last name in lowercase. Example: smith. |
| First name:fn | A first name in lowercase. Example: joe. |
| Client IP adress: client_ip_address | The IP address of the browser corresponding to the event (HTTP headers) |
| Client user agent: client_user_agent | The IP address of the browser corresponding to the event. Note: this information is automatically added to events sent through the browser/ pixel, but must be manually configured to events sent through server. |
| Click ID:fbc | The Facebook click ID value stored in the _fbc browser cookie under your domain. See managing fbc and fbp parameters for how to get this value, or generate this value from a fbclid query parameter. |
| Browser ID:fbp | The Facebook browser ID value stored in the _fbp browser cookie under your domain. See Managing fbc and fbp Parameters for how to get this value. |
