Use a generic JS blocker. It protects you from workarounds and zero days.

It also blocks JS.

If you use umatrix and only allow 1st party cookies it should block those right? The pixel would load but without any cookie.

Tracking pixels don't need a cookie if they're using dynamically generated URLs.

umatrix can block third-party images as easily as it blocks cookies.
