If you choose to disallow cookies and/or images in an e-mail received from JBS USA, you may inadvertently block all images in the e-mail, including non-tracking-related images. Additionally, blocking images in your web browser may result in some websites, including this one, being more difficult to use due to a lack of visual cues and navigation elements that depend on the image display.
