Emails spy on us. Let’s put a stop to it.
Many of the emails we receive from organisations contain tiny images that relay information back to the sender. These are called tracking or spy pixels.
The emails we receive can often tell the sender:
-
If we’ve read an email
-
How many times we opened it
-
Where we were when we read it
-
Which links we clicked
-
How many times we clicked them
-
What device we used to read
In many cases, if we unsubscribe from a mailing list and revisit an email, that data will continue to be collected. After all, unsubscribing doesn’t delete the spy pixel or the unique URLs that identify links you click.......
Alweer een handige uiteenzetting over misbruik van digitale media (mail) door bedrijven en overheden en hoe we hier paal en perk kunnen stellen.
Site biedt genoeg voorbeelden om leerlingen actief met mediawijsheid om te gaan door bv. de bedrijven die hen spy pickels mailen aan te pakken.
