Track user "path" to my website

If i have a website A that receive a visit from a user U is possible to know just the website B where he come from or is possible to know "links" that the user have clicked to arrive at finally at our website

Example:

1 I search smartphone on google and went into a smartphone blog so

google.com (C) -> blogphone.com (B)

2 the user U click a link into the blog ( our B website ) and arrive on my website

blogphone.com (B) -> mywebsite.com (A)

Now i can know he come from (B) but how can i know the user visit previously google.com (C), its that possible?

That is not possible as it is outside of the realm of your web property. There is a number of reasons why, including security, privacy, etc.

However, if blogphone.com (B) is a known affiliate of yours, then you could request them to pass through the referrer information in the URL.

You could then collect the referrer information from the URL and pass it through as a custom dimension.
