Context?

Parcels:

Tracking is following the progress of the parcel through the postal
system. Tracing is trying to find where a missing parcel has gone.

People:

Tracking is physically following a person or keeping a record of the
person's movements. Tracing is trying to find a missing person.

Tracing is also following the outline of something through translucent
paper (tracing paper) to make a copy.
