English term or phrase: Web beacon/web bug

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_bug

Sorry for the unreliable source, but the explanation is pretty good. What would be a good translation for this?

Should we go simple and use "webbugg"? Are there any other technical translators out there who have translated the term or engineers (though I know you rarely translate since your environment is predominantly English)?

Notes to answerer

Asker: Ja, det var ju olyckligt att ett av svaren togs bort eftersom jag däri även förklarat min infallsvinkel. Jag anser alltså att "spionpixel" är en god men inte vedertagen översättning till det mer vardagliga "web bug". I officiella sammanhang och tekniska översättningar, vilket är den kontext där jag just nu jobbar, är däremot det mer vedertagna "webbsignal", som Andreas föreslagit, ett bättre alternativ. En annan anledning till att jag nedgraderar statusen på "spionpixel" är att det var felstavat (särskrivet med bindestreck) i förslaget (och hänvisningen) som nu alltså tagits bort av upphovsmannen.
