# Conversion Pages

Set up your conversion pages in Email Studio to track click-through data at a deeper level.

When a subscriber clicks through your landing page to a page where you want to capture data about the subscriber's activities (such as purchases made), that destination page known as the conversions page must do the following:

- Either accept the parameter values from the landing page or retrieve these values from a cookie.
- Build an XML string with the data you want to return to the system.
- Use an image tag to capture the conversion and return the XML string to the system. This image tag can be added to any page on your website, to track hits from the landing page to other pages.

## XML String

Use the following tags in the XML string, which your conversions page returns to the system:

<table class="slds-table slds-table_bordered slds-max-medium-table_stacked slds-m-bottom_small ">
        <colgroup>
          <col style="width:50%">
          <col style="width:50%">
        </colgroup>
        <thead class="slds-text-title_caps ">
          <tr class="">
            <th scope="col" class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;" id="d25468e52">XML Tag</th>
            <th scope="col" class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;" id="d25468e55">Description</th>

Here’s an example of an XML string.

Note Be sure to eliminate any extra spaces from the XML string. Omit spaces between XML tags or between an element start tag and end tag. See the Image Tag section for more details on how to pass this XML string to the system.
