Web Bug

A graphic on a Web page or in an e-mail message that monitors who is reading the Web page or e-mail message. Web bugs are often invisible because they are typically only 1-by-1 pixel in size. They are represented as HTML IMG tags. They are invisible to hide the fact that the monitoring is taking place.
