Maalmaha codsashada rasiidhada akhriska ayaa naga dambeeya. Haddii aad ku jirtay intarneedka^(Internet) in muddo ah, waxaa laga yaabaa inaad xasuusato iimaylka soo baxay ee ku weydiinaya ogolaanshahaaga si aad u ogeysiiso soo-diraha inaad furtay iimaylka. Kuwaani waxay wali jiraan xoogaa awood ah maanta, laakiin kuwo kale, habab dabagal oo aad u qarsoon ayaa tan iyo markii la wareegay.

Mid ka mid ah waxyaabaha ugu horreeya ee ay dad badani sameeyaan marka ay helaan taleefan cusub oo ay bilaabaan fariimaha qoraalka ah waa inay damiyaan warqadaha akhrinta. Ma jiro qof jecel in qof kale uu rumaysto inay iska indha tirayaan iyaga, iyo in "R" uu gaadhay ilaa inuu joojiyo cilaaqaadka. Dadka intooda badan waxay rabaan in fariimahooda laga soo jawaabo isla markaaba marka la akhriyo.

Waxaa laga yaabaa inaadan waligaa ogaanin, laakiin saameyn isku mid ah ayaa ku jirta iimaylka-marka laga reebo inay aad ugu adag tahay isticmaalayaasha celceliska ah inuu "damiyo."

Maqaalkan, aan uga hadalno siyaabaha duullaanka ah ee ay dadku ku raad-joogeen markaad furto email-kooda iyo sidaad isaga ilaalin lahayd arrintan.

Waa maxay Pixel Tracking Email?

Celcelis ahaan akhriyaha iimaylkaagu kama warqabo inta uu le'eg yahay sawirka aan la arki karin. Kaliya markaad ku shubto hal-pixel, 1×1 sawir, waxaad bixinaysaa macluumaad badan oo ku saabsan mashiinkaaga.

Marka aad shubto sawirkan, server-ka ay ku xidhan tahay waxa uu gelin karaa dhammaan noocyada kala duwan ee macluumaadka qalabkaaga kaydka xogta, sida ciwaanka IP-gaga, goobtaada, browserkaga, iyo in ka badan.

Doorsoomayaasha kale waa la gudbin karaa sidoo kale, sida ciwaanka iimaylka aad akhrinayso (oo ku salaysan ciwaanka loo diray) iyo wakhtiga emailka la arkay.

Soo-diraha iimaylka waxa ay geli karaan sawir hufan oo ku jira jidhka iimaylka ay kuu soo diraan, waligaa xitaa ma ogaan doontid in tani dhacdo. Xaq maaha, sax? Warka fiicani waa inaadan ahayn inaad dhibane u noqoto jebintan sirta ah.

Sideen uga hortegi karaa qof inuu ogaado markaan furay iimaylka^{(Their Email)} ?

Waxaa jira xulashooyin u sahlaya qof kasta inuu la socdo furitaanka emaylkooda, sida MailTracker , laakiin shirkadaha waaweyn ayaa inta badan isticmaali doona xal shirkad ama gudaha guriga. Haddi aanay taasi arinku sidaa ahayn, way sahlanaan lahayd in si fudud lagu daro xayndaabyada qaarkood goobaha gaarka ah ee interneedkaaga si sawirada iyaga waligood loo rarin.

Si kastaba ha ahaatee, xal aad u ballaadhan ayaa jira: curyaaminta soo bandhigida sawirada dhammaan iimayllada. Doorashadan ayaa si dhab ah loogu heli karaa macmiil kasta oo casriga ah ee iimaylka ah, marka laga reebo Windows 10 Boostada^(Mail) , oo ay ku jiraan mareegaha Gmail-ka iyo is-dhexgalka mobaylada.

Si aad u heshid goobtan Gmailka^(Gmail) , ku dhufo astaanta cog^{(cog icon)} ee ku taal geeska sare ee midig ee app-ka Gmail-ka ka dibna dhagsii Settings .

Tani waxay ku geyn doontaa dejinta Gmail kaaga. ^(Gmail)Hoosta tabka Guud^(General) ee caadiga ah , waa inaad aragto calaamadda ikhtiyaarka Sawirrada . ^(Images)Halkan, hubi in Weydii ka hor inta aanad soo bandhigin sawirada dibadda^{(Ask before displaying external images)} la doortay. Haddaysan ahayn, dooro oo dhagsii badhanka Save Changes ee xagga hoose ee bogga.

Hadda, mar kasta oo aad aragto iimaylka, sawirada waa la xannibi doonaa si toos ah. Tani waxay ka ilaalin doontaa raadinta pixels inay awoodaan inay kaa ururiyaan macluumaad kasta. Waxaad la yaabi doontaa inta "qoraalka" kaliya ee iimaylada ku leh sawirro yaryar oo gudaha ah.

Intaa waxaa dheer in aad wali ku soo bandhigi karto sawirada iimaylka gudaheeda hal mar ama adiga oo si buuxda u caddeeya ciwaanka soo diraha, sida ku cad labada xiriiriye ee hoose ee " Sawirada lama soo bandhigo,^{(Images are not displayed,)} " line. Tani waxay kaa caawineysaa xanaaqa si joogto ah loo xaqiijiyo muujinta sawirada soo-diraha aad ku kalsoon tahay.

Haddii aad tahay isticmaale iPhone ama iPad oo aad isticmaalayso Gmail app, nasiib baad leedahay. Ilaa hadda, dhammaan sawiradu way soo bixi doonaan mana jirto ikhtiyaar lagu damiyo^{(no option to turn it off)} . Isticmaalayaasha Android ee abka ^(Android)Gmail waxay leeyihiin ikhtiyaar, si kastaba ha ahaatee, waxaan rajeyneynaa inay u sameyso habka aaladaha Apple ugu dambeyntii.

Waxa laga yaabaa in aad xoogaa kalsooni abuurto oo aad bilowdo in aad ogolaato sawirada soo-dilayaasha aanad aqoon u lahayn oo aad ogaato in marka aad samayso aanay muuqan wax sawiro ah. yaab^(Weird) leh, sax? Malaha waa lagu daba socdaa!

Mid ka mid ah cilladaha badan ee Windows 10 App-ka ^{(Windows 10)} boostada^(Mail) ayaa ah in aysan taageerin sifadan. Waxay u egtahay in Windows ay la tagtay hab "kayar waa ka badan" ee macmiilkoodii u dambeeyay ee iimaylka, iyaga oo ka wareegaya Muuqaalka^(Outlook) .

Xitaa haddii aad ku dhejiso Gmail-kaaga gudaha Windows 10 Boostada^{(set up your Gmail in Windows 10 Mail)} , oo leh sawirro laga xiray app -ka Gmail -ka, tani wali ma samayn doonto khiyaanada. ^(Gmail)Windows 10 Boosashadu^(Mail) sidoo kale ma taageerto codsashada rasiidhada akhrinta iimaylladaada la soo diray.

Si kastaba ha ahaatee macmiilka iimaylka ee aad doorato inaad xannibto sawirada, waxaad noqon doontaa akhriye iimaylka badbaado badan oo gaar ah. Xayeysiyeyaal badan ayaa isticmaala pixels raadraaca si ay u ururiyaan xisaabaadka ku saabsan ololayaashooda, laakiin waxaa loo isticmaali karaa ujeedooyin aad u xun. Waxaa fiican inaadan naftaada u furin suurtogalnimadan soo dirayaasha aan la aamini karin.

Had iyo jeer diid rasiidhada akhrinta oo jooji sawirada iimaylka soo diray ee aadan ku kalsoonayn. Raacitaanka labadan xeer ayaa kuu oggolaanaya inaad noqoto akhristaha emailka ugu qarsoodiga badan ee aad noqon karto!

Can Someone Know When I’ve Opened Their Email?

The days of requesting read receipts are long behind us. If yоu’ve been on the Internet for quite a whіle, you may remember email pop-ups asking for your consent to inform the sender that you’ve opened the email. Thеse still exist at some capacity today, but other, more sneaky tracking methods have since taken over.

One of the first things that many people do when they get a new phone and begin texting is to turn off read receipts. No ones like having someone else believe that they’re ignoring them, and that “R” has gone as far as to end relationships. Most people want their messages responded to immediately after they’re read.

You may have never realized it, but this same effect exists in email—except it’s much more difficult for the average user to “turn it off.”

In this article, let’s talk about the invasive ways that people have been tracking when you’ve opened their emails and how you can protect yourself against this.

What is an Email Tracking Pixel?

Your average email reader isn’t aware of just how powerful an invisible image actually is. Just by loading a single-pixel, 1×1 image, you’re giving away so much information about your machine.

When you load this image, the server it’s hosted on can place all sorts of information about your device in a database, like your IP address, location, browser, and more.

Other variables can be passed as well, like the email address you’re reading from (based on the address it was sent to) and the time when the email was viewed.

Email senders can embed a transparent image in the body of an email that they send to you, and you’ll never even know this is happening. Not fair, right? The good news is that you don’t have to be a victim of this breach of privacy.

How Can I Prevent Someone from Knowing When I’ve Opened Their Email?

There are options that make it easy for anyone to track the opening of their emails, such as MailTracker, but large companies will often use a corporate or in-house solution. If this wasn’t the case, it’d be easy to simply add certain domains to your internet privacy settings so that images from them are never loaded.

However, a more wide-reaching solution does exist: disabling the display of images across all emails. This option is available in practically every modern email client, except Windows 10 Mail, including Gmail’s web and mobile interfaces.

To find this setting in Gmail, click on the cog icon in the upper-right corner of Gmail’s web app and then click on Settings.

This will take you into your Gmail’s settings. Under the default General tab, you should see an Images option label. Here, be sure that Ask before displaying external images is selected. If it’s not, select it and click the Save Changes button at the bottom of the page.

Now, any time you view an email, the images will be blocked by default. This will prevent tracking pixels from being able to collect any information from you. You’ll be surprised how many “text” only emails have small little images inside them.

An added plus is that you can still display images within an email on a one-time basis or by completely whitelisting a sender’s address, as shown in the two links below the “Images are not displayed,” line. This helps with the annoyance of constantly confirming to display images from senders you trust.

If you’re an iPhone or iPad user and are using the Gmail app, you’re out of luck. As of now, all images will appear and there is no option to turn it off. Android users of the Gmail app do have the option, however, so hopefully it makes it way to Apple devices eventually.

You may build up some confidence and begin allowing images from senders that you aren’t as familiar with and find that when you do, no visible images appear. Weird, right? You’re probably being tracked!

One of the many shortcomings of the Windows 10 Mail app is that it doesn’t support this feature. It seems like Windows has gone with a “less is more” approach in their latest email client, shifting away from Outlook.

Even if you set up your Gmail in Windows 10 Mail, with images blocked through the Gmail web app, this still won’t do the trick. Windows 10 Mail also doesn’t support requesting read receipts for your sent emails.

No matter what email client you choose to block images in, you’ll be a safer and more private email reader. Many advertisers use tracking pixels to gather statistics about their ad campaigns, but they can be used for much more nefarious purposes. You’re better off not opening yourself up to this possibility from untrusted senders.

Always deny read receipts and block images from email senders that you don’t trust. Following these two rules will allow you to be the most stealthy email reader you can be!
