Homonym: Tracking (Monitoring)
Tracking refers to the process of monitoring the location or progress of an object, person, or event over time. This can be done using various technologies, such as GPS (Global Positioning System), which provides real-time location data. Tracking is commonly used in logistics to follow shipments, in fitness apps to monitor exercise routes, and in personal safety devices to ensure the well-being of individuals.
In addition to physical tracking, there is also digital tracking, which involves collecting data on user behavior online. This is often used by companies to analyze customer preferences and improve services. Tools like cookies and analytics software help businesses understand how users interact with their websites and applications.
