# Trackers

Trackers in your organization's data manager is a centralized database of IAB declared trackers and trackers added by your organization. These trackers are assigned purposes, associated with vendors, and can be aggregated into [tracker policies](/data-manager/tracker-policy.md) that can then be added to your properties.

* [Tracker overview](#tracker-overview)
* [Tracker glossary](#tracker-glossary)
* [Tracker filters](#tracker-filters)

The tracker database can be accessed by clicking **Data Manager** on the left-hand panel and then selecting **Trackers** on the subsequent page

### Tracker overview

Your organization's tracker database comes pre-populated with all of the trackers disclosed by a vendor as part of their registration with the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB). The tracker database will automatically update as IAB vendors update their tracker disclosures.

In addition to the trackers that are automatically created in the database, your organization can also manually add trackers individually or via any configured Didomi scan that your organization utilizes.

As your organization continues to manage its trackers and those of its vendors please keep the following rules in mind when working with trackers in the Didomi platform:

* Trackers cannot be added to IAB vendors
* Existing trackers cannot be edited for IAB vendors
* Trackers will inherit the category assigned to the vendor to which they are associated
* Trackers will inherit the legal bases used for the purposes to which they are assigned

### Tracker glossary

For each tracker on the tracker page of your organization's data manager, you can find the following information:

<table><thead><tr><th width="219">Field</th><th></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Name</td><td>Name of the tracker</td></tr><tr><td>Vendor</td><td>Vendor to which the tracker belongs</td></tr><tr><td>Type</td><td><p>The type of the tracker.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.didomi.io/data-manager/trackers.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
