Meta Pixel
The Meta Pixel is a snippet that records visitor actions for Meta (Facebook and Instagram) advertising measurement and audiences.
Written by Reflective Data experts · updated Oct 5, 2026
It sends events such as page views and purchases to Meta so campaigns can be optimised and audiences built. Browser limits and consent reduce its coverage.
Many advertisers pair it with the Conversions API for more resilient measurement.
