Definition:
The Facebook Pixel is a javaScript code that cplaces an empty 1 x 1 pixel image and is inserted into the pages of a website to track visits and conversions from Facebook. When the script is loaded on the page, it sends a hit to Facebook that allows it to see what type of hit it is (page view or interaction), and allows you to generate audiences based on user profiles.
The Facebook Pixel allows you to create more efficient campaigns in Facebook Ads, and allows you to create lookalike and retargeting audiences on Facebook to users who have visited the web, or have performed certain actions on it.
