Study how Gmail natively handles tracking, then consider ways to improve upon it.

Since early days of Gmail Google has claimed several features to mitigate tracking:

1) the option to not automatically load images

2) proxying of message referents so that views don't imply unique loads.

3) render only a subset of markup avoiding active and risky elements by default

If you google, gemini will provide a rundown of native tracking mitigation features.
