Web Tracking

Also known as: Online Tracking, Behavioural Tracking

The collection of information about users across websites, typically by third parties, using techniques such as cookies, fingerprinting, tracking pixels, and network requests. Web tracking raises privacy concerns and can disproportionately affect disabled users who install more browser extensions and assistive tools. Accessibility and privacy are increasingly studied together because tracking scripts can also interfere with page structure, ARIA attributes, and performance.
