“This little kitten just appeared pretty much like on trail in the middle of nowhere it was quite deep bush,” evans said.
She said she just couldn’t leave it behind and that decision “probably came from the heart right away”.
“Also, I was quite aware of New Zealand’s fragile ecosystem with all the native birds and I knew that cats and kittens were pests out in the wild.”

As of January 28, 2026, the Facebook Pixel remains a core component of Facebook’s advertising platform, though privacy regulations continue to evolve and impact its functionality. The Facebook Marketing API documentation details the latest updates and best practices.
How the ‘PageView’ Event Works
The fbq('track', 'PageView'); command specifically triggers the ‘PageView’ event. This event is automatically sent to Facebook whenever a user loads a page on your website where the Pixel is installed. It’s a basic event for tracking overall website traffic and understanding user journeys.
Such as, if a user visits your homepage, the Pixel will fire a ‘PageView’ event for that page. If they then navigate to a product page, another ‘PageView’ event will be sent. These events are aggregated in Facebook Ads Manager to provide insights into website performance.
Meta’s Privacy Changes and the Facebook pixel
Meta (formerly Facebook) has implemented several privacy-focused changes that impact the Facebook Pixel’s functionality, particularly regarding data tracking across websites and devices. Meta’s official newsroom provides updates on these changes.
Key changes include:
- Aggregated Event Measurement: Prioritizes tracking conversions based on aggregated, anonymized data.
- Advanced Matching: Enhances the accuracy of matching website visitors to facebook users while respecting privacy.
- Limited Data Use: Restrictions on the use of certain types of data for ad targeting.
As of January 28, 2026, website owners are required to configure their Pixel to prioritize up to eight conversion events for aggregated event measurement. Facebook’s help center provides guidance on configuring these events. Failure to do so can result in reduced tracking accuracy.
