              When  you visit  a  website,  your IP  address  may be
              saved. They serve as identifiers for computers and
              devices  connected  to  the  Internet  or a  local  area
              network.  The  abbreviation  “IP”  stands  for “Internet
              Protocol,”  which  is  a  set  of rules  that  governs  the
              structure  of data  transmitted  over the  Internet (or
              a  local  network)  and  is  used  to  track  your website
              activities.  During a session,  programs known as
              “session  replay scripts”  record a website  visitor’s
              behavior on  a  website.  This  activity  includes  the
              mouse movement, clicks, and scrolling of the visitor.

              online  activity  while  logged  into  a  specific  online
              account or platform. Account  tracking  tracks  your
              online  activity  only  while  you are  logged  into  that
              particular account or platform.

          5.  Mouse  tracking,  also  known  as  cursor  tracking,  is
              a type of data tracking software that monitors and
              records website visitors’ mouse movements in order
              to analyze their engagement with a specific website.

          6.  Browser  fingerprinting  is  the  process  of  creating
              a  unique  identifier  for  a  user  by  piecing  together
              information about that  user’s  device, such as  the
              operating  system,  language  preferences,  and  time
              zone. This identifier is then used to track the user’s
              entire  online  activity.  Another  method  is  to use
              canvas fingerprinting, which identifies the elements
