5. UTILIZING OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES IN OUR COMMUNICATIONS
At Qiddiya, we employ additional tracking technologies to enhance our understanding of your interaction with the knowledge, research, or event communications we send you. These technologies enable us to gather information about whether you've opened our messages or clicked on any embedded links. One of these technologies, known as a web beacon, plays a pivotal role in this process.
A web beacon is a small graphic image that can be placed within a website or an email. It functions alone or in conjunction with cookies to collect data about how you use or engage with a Qiddiya website or email.
The analysis generated from these tracking technologies aids us in refining the effectiveness of our websites and email communications. By understanding how you engage with our content and the format of our messages, we can tailor our communications to better suit your preferences and needs.
You can prevent web beacons from being activated by configuring your email reader program to disable the feature that loads remote images. Additionally, you can avoid interacting with any links included in email messages to ensure that web beacons are not triggered. This way, you have control over the information gathered through these tracking technologies when you access and read your emails.
