Internet Monitoring, Blocking, and Tracking




Internet monitoring is the process of testing or tracking how end users interact with a website or web application. Internet monitoring is used by businesses to make sure that their customers are able to access their online applications. Also to do actions such as searching, online shopping, checking an account balance, or researching.

Internet tracking is an electronic passage left through the internet that can be traced. A user's Internet activity on web sites can also be tracked on the recipient site. Internet tracking can help authorities pursue criminals of illegal internet activity. An example of a tracking device would be a “cookie.”
