Web beacons are clear, 1 pixel x 1 pixel images that are placed in the HTML (or Internet page code) for individual pages. Web beacons, like cookies, are used mainly for collecting marketing information. They track the traffic patterns of users from one page to another.
Web beacons are sneaky little things. They're invisible as cookies, but they're incorporated into Web pages without your knowing. Turning off cookies won't disable them. However, Web beacons are not as ominous as they might seem because the information collected is not personally identifiable.
