What's a page tag?

"Page tags," also known as web beacons or gif tags, are a web technology used to help track website or email usage information, such as how many times a specific page or email has been viewed. Page tags are invisible to you, and any portion of the Support Board Service, including advertisements, or e-mail sent on our behalf, may contain page tags.
