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 devices, mobile apps, or RFID tags. Tracking is commonly used in logistics to follow shipments, in fitness to monitor exercise routines, and in personal safety to keep tabs on loved ones.
In addition to physical tracking, there is also digital tracking, which involves collecting data about online behavior. Websites and apps often use cookies to track user activity, helping businesses understand preferences and improve services. This type of tracking raises privacy concerns, as it can lead to the collection of personal information without consent.
