How to stay anonymous online
Almost every website these days asks if it can save your cookies, but what does it actually mean? Every browser has a unique fingerprint, and that makes you personally identifiable. Below we list ways to prevent this, as some websites will sell your information and digital fingerprint to advertisers, which is why you get personalized ads and spam emails
Using a temporary email address
Using a temp mail when registering for random sites, or any website, means you won’t be leaving a digital fingerprint and the website cannot sell your email for information. This protects you from spam, promotion emails, and more. Using a service like tempmail.ink makes this possible and offers you an extra layer of protection when surfing the web.
Using a VPN
Whenever you click on a website, your ip address is shared, which gives the site more information on you, like your location. Using a VPN (Virtual Private Network) allows your traffic to remain anonymous and hide your IP. All of your traffic is also encrypted to protect your data from being sold or used against your consent.
Search Engines that don’t keep a digital fingerprint or data
Using a browser like TOR, or DuckDuckGo is another layer of added security. These browsers do not store your data, unlike google chrome. Using a browser that does not store your data allows you another layer of protection in staying anonymous online. Most people prefer chrome and would hate to change, as humans hate change, however without switching your data will always be stored and could be sold.
Overall, if you implement all of these tactics, you will remain anonymous online. Your data can’t be sold, as companies won’t have access to your privacy and information to sell it. In a world of digital advertising and data selling, stay anonymous with these three tricks.
