f24_autoId – This is a temporary identifier on a local machine or phone browser that helps us track anonymous information to be later married up with f24_personid. If this is left anonymous it will be deleted after 6 months.
 
f24_personId – This is an ID generated per individual contact in the Force24 system to be able to track behaviour and form submissions into the Force24 system from outside sources per user. This is used for personalisation and the ability to segment decisions for further communications.

All emails have a tracking pixel (a tiny invisible image) with a query string in the URL. Within the URL we have user details to identify who opened an email for statistical purposes. 

Link Tracking
All links within emails and SMS messages sent from the Force24 platform contain a unique tracking reference, this reference helps us identify who clicked an email for statistical purposes.
