Twitter Ads: In addition to tracking the behavior of users on your website, you can also learn how they interact with the ad (for example, by retweeting or “liking”).
Google Ads: Google Ads lets you link your account to Google Analytics and set up Conversion Pixel to keep up to date with everything that happens to users who click on your ads. Pixels are also very useful here for remarketing campaigns, i.e. only for users who have already visited your website or taken a specific action.
Display ads: By setting up a conversion pixel for your display ad, you can easily see which placements and creatives are most profitable for you.
Email Marketing: Having a conversion pixel in your newsletter makes it possible to know how customers respond to your emails and how your email marketing achieves the intended goals.
