What is the NewsBreak Pixel?
The NewsBreak Pixel is a tracking tool that functions similarly to those used by platforms like Facebook, TikTok, and Google Analytics. It helps the NewsBreak Ad Manager monitor user actions on your website, enabling better optimization of your ad campaigns based on real user behavior.
How Does It Work?
The pixel uses a small JavaScript snippet embedded on your website. This snippet collects data from specific conversion events and sends it back to NewsBreak for reporting and optimization.

Step 3: Embed the Conversion Code in Your Website
