# Click tracking

Email glossary

Counting clicks by sending each link through a redirect that records the click, then forwards to the real page.

## How this affects you

Vaartix offers click tracking, off unless you turn it on for a domain or for a single email. Links go through `t.vaartix.com`, and each click is an `email.clicked` event and webhook with the link, and a `machine` flag for link scanners that follow every link the moment an email arrives. Tracked links show a different domain on hover, which can look suspicious in sensitive emails: leave click tracking off for login codes and password resets, so their links go straight to your site.
