MailerLite: Deactivate Open Tracking specifically

Requirements

Access to the tracking settings of the relevant MailerLite campaign and a test address for control.

MailerLite provides a setting to disable open tracking. The documentation expressly points out that this does not automatically switch off click tracking, e-commerce link tracking and Google Analytics. Therefore check all tracking switches separately.

Check after the change

Check browser memory and network requests and also view web server, proxy, application and provider logs separately. A single product setting does not automatically cover the entire processing chain.

Basis

The general technical differences between opening and click tracking and necessary shipping data are explained in Newsletter without opening and click tracking.

Reset

If the reduced configuration affects a required function, restore only the relevant setting and then recheck data flow, storage, retention and third-party connections.

Sources and verification

This guide is based on multiple current sources. Vendor documentation is not treated as proof that every concrete installation automatically follows the same privacy characteristics.

Important: IP processing is not IP storage

An IP address has to be processed to establish and deliver a network connection. Hosting providers, firewalls or DDoS protection may also process or retain it for a limited time for security purposes. No Logging distinguishes this security layer from unnecessary persistent visitor logging by the website, application and ordinary access logs.
