# How do I deactivate a tracking element?

**A campaign has ended. How do I stop measuring?**

Every tracking element can be revoked in the portal. Afterwards the collector rejects signals from that token; data already measured is retained.

Revoking is the right route when a creative is still in circulation but should no longer count, for instance after a contract has expired or a motif was published by mistake.

> **Note:** The impression pixel still answers with a valid 1×1 GIF after revocation. A creative in circulation therefore shows no broken image, but nothing is counted any more.
