Tracking technologies refer to various tools and systems used to monitor and collect data about the location, behavior, or activities of individuals or objects. Common examples include GPS (Global Positioning System), which provides real-time location data, and RFID (Radio Frequency Identification), which uses radio waves to identify and track tags attached to items. These technologies are widely used in logistics, transportation, and personal devices like smartphones.
In addition to location tracking, technologies such as cookies and web beacons are used to monitor online behavior. These tools help businesses understand user preferences and improve marketing strategies. However, the use of tracking technologies raises privacy concerns, prompting discussions about data protection and user consent.
