Web information seeking behaviour is considered to be a subsection of the umbrella term information behaviour, which includes information seeking, information searching and information retrieval. Web tracking, also known as web log analysis, web logging, and web log file analysis seems to be very popular for information seeking.

Web tracking is machine-generated records of users' activities when interacting with a web space such as a web page, website, database, library catalogue, discussion group, search engine, intranet, electronic book, electronic journal, electronic newspaper or portal. Activities may include information searching, information seeking, the capturing of information, and the beginning and ending of search sessions.
