Does Google Analytics allow you to track individual user's routes/paths on your website?

Google Analytics does not provide the capability to track individual users' routes or paths on a website at a granular level. It focuses on aggregated data and user behavior trends rather than tracking individual user journeys.

Google Analytics primarily uses cookies and anonymous identifiers to collect information about user interactions on a website. It can track metrics such as page views, session duration, bounce rates, and user demographics at an aggregate level across the entire site or specific sections/pages.

While it offers insights into user behavior patterns in terms of which pages users visit, how long they stay, and the actions they take, it does not provide the ability to identify and monitor the specific paths or actions of individual users in a detailed manner due to privacy and data protection considerations.

Tracking individual user paths or routes on a website would typically require more sophisticated tools or custom implementations that might infringe on user privacy regulations unless users explicitly consent to such tracking.
