I don't know why you're being downvoted, calling full access javascript embedded into a page a 'tracking pixel' is a total lie. Then again 'serverless' is where you use a server, so the track record isn't great.

I guess most people reading this already knew that the term 'tracking pixel' has evolved beyond its original meaning, and is now commonly understood to include all sorts of tracking code.

I did not, but now I know :)

(And although serverless doesn't mean 'no server', we know what the word means and it doesn't cause confusion.)

I also didn't know and I definitely don't like how it underplays the capabilities of the tracking.

Doesn't the term confuse anyone hearing it for the first time? It sure did me.
