You only see the 'XYZ has received a gift card you sent' when the person has added it to their account.

Cool, I've never purchased gift cards on Amazon, hence my ignorance in that area... ;)

THe image takes you to their website.

The HTTP request will also contain a user-agent header which provides a brief description of your browser and operating system.

So, from one embedded image systems like Streak can determine:

Who opened their email
What time the email was opened
Where it was opened
What sort of device it was opened on

The answer to protecting yourself from this kind of tracking is straightforward - don't load the images.

You can do this by forcing all your email to render as plain text or by allowing it to render HTML without images.

Very good summary.

It is a good summary but still completely irrelevant to the OP's question.
