Conversion Pixel

A conversion pixel is a third-party code placed on a website that allows an advertiser or ad platform to track conversions. Conversion pixels are usually placed on confirmation pages, but can also be placed on landing pages or throughout the website.

A conversion pixel is an image file 1 pixel high and 1 pixel wide that is placed outside the visited website. Because the pixel is so small, it is invisible to the eye, so users won't notice when it's charging.

The conversion pixel is hosted on the server used to track ads, so every time the pixel loads, it can be ingested by that server. Other information is sent from the user's computer along with the pixel request and used to associate the user with the ad.

Example of conversion pixel

This is an example of how a conversion pixel might work. There are many variations on how tracking works, so this is just a general example:

Julia clicks on a scarf ad on Facebook and goes to the advertiser's page.
Facebook records that Julia clicked on the ad.
- This can be done in a number of ways by typing in things like IP address, device ID, username, etc.
Julia sees a scarf she likes on the advertiser's website and makes a purchase.
After the sale, Julia will be redirected to a confirmation page with the Facebook conversion pixel code.
The conversion pixel is downloaded from the Facebook server and the pixel request is sent with Julia's device ID.
Facebook associates a device ID with a list of people who interacted with an ad.
Facebook charges the advertiser for their ads, which results in a sale.

There are a few things to note about this example:

The Facebook pixel is more complex and can receive information about the page. It is also usually placed on all pages.
Pixels often place cookies that can also be used for conversion tracking.
The information stored by the ad platform must be anonymous so they cannot identify you, just that someone who viewed or clicked on the ad converted.
Whether or not you interacted with an ad on the original site (Facebook in this case), the pixel loads when you make a purchase. This means that your information will be sent to the site where the ad was placed. This is one of the main reasons people don't like ad tracking.
Ads are often shown on multiple websites at once, so each purchase can lead to multiple conversion pixels. This means that after every online purchase, many businesses get a notification that you've never communicated with them. Of course, even if everyone anonymizes their information, this is far from ideal.

Best advice

Websites may not place cookies or pixels on a user's computer unless the user has given permission to do so. This is due to the cookie policies of many countries and good practices.

A 1x1 image pixel placed on a web page (such as a thank you page) that is triggered with every conversion. Generally clear.
