Hi there,
first time Matomo user here. Setup and everything went very smooth, which is why I am surprised about the behaviour I am seeing with the image tracking pixel.
The conversion goal I want to track does not happen on my website, so I placed an image pixel on the “Thank You” page of the merchant. This page also receives visits from customers I haven’t referred, BUT these visits are still tracked in my Matomo install and “conversions” with revenue attached to them.
I was under the impression that the image pixel would only track a visit, and conversion goal if a cookie was present and the visitor visited my site before.
I have conducted my own tests now, in a fresh private browser window with all cookies cleared, visited the url that is wrapped in the image tag, and it tracks new visits with conversions and revenue in my install.
To me, that is completely unlogical behaviour, why is this happening and how can I track conversions the way I describe above but accurately…?
PS: This is the image tracking url:
