# Customer Data Platforms: An Overview

In order to understand Customer Data Platform (CDP) and its core usability as an eCommerce business, let’s start with a very relatable example.
Suppose you are planning a vacation to Dubai.
Your search history might have looked something like this:
“Trip to Dubai” or “Itinerary for Dubai trip”
According to the search results, you must have navigated through their official website, “visitdubai.com”, and a number of other travel websites. You might have checked some Instagram pages and reels too.
Once you made up your mind to book the tickets, you probably checked different websites to compare itineraries and prices.
