Any info about this company?

Called Destria Advertising. I have got an offer from them to place banners on my sites. But I don't know them or find any 3 party info about them on web. They offer to use iframe banners. This and the lack of info make me doubt about them. Has anyone any additional info? Thanks in advance.

Have them show you the banner and the sites(known) that use them-- Iframes from unknowns(and most knowns) I would never ever do

Thanks for your answer Spence. No, I don't have asked them to show me their banner or sites using them. I have just informed them that iframes are not allowed and they propose me to use a hosted "tracking pixel". I'm a little bit lost about that. What do you think?

They want you to put a 1x1 <img> in the ad spots they'll be occupying. It's a method for them to track your page impressions, referrers and clickthrough.

It's a common (and old) tracking method in mainstream.

Thanks Jab. So, we could tell that is a legit way to track trafic. There is no risk of malware like with iframes, isn't it?

Correct troglobyte, no worries with pixel, unless you don't want them knowing the details about all of your traffic.

Ok I understand now. Thanks for helping everyone!
