How to remove tracking pixel from SendGrid emails? (Azure context)

I'm using Azure websites and they offer email services vie the third party provider SendGrid.

It works fine so far but they put a tracking pixel in the emails in order to provide statistics. Some email clients (like Thunderbird) shows a warning message for a remote content in the email.

I want to provide safe to the maximum service for my users and want to remove this tracking pixel from the email. However I cannot find such an option in the settings.

I don't want third party content in my emails. Do you know how to remove it?

(I'm using free SendGrid plan)

Alternatively, does Azure have own SMTP service?

As per https://sendgrid.com/docs/Apps/open_tracking.html

Settings may be changed through:

SMTP API (on a per message basis)

Web API (on an account wide basis)

Web Interface (on an account wide basis) // have to log into account

You didn't say exactly how you we're implementing it, so it has links to a few different ways. Sounds like it would be easier to log into your account and disable it there.

EDIT:

updated answer from comments

go to sendgrid.com/app and its one of the three options there. with a big red disable button on it when you hover over it.
