Using technology to differentiate online visitors and potential customers is called personalization. An example is when a website displays different information for each individual, tailored to his or her interests.
A website gathers information from its visitors by tracking the particular web pages visited by each user. This is achieved through cookies. The website can also track the search terms entered in by the users as well as products or images they viewed. It is then possible to filter out the results that are less likely to interest the visitors, and show them only what is likely to interest them.
