MAINTAINING DIGITAL PRIVACY AND ANONYMITY

LEVEL 1

So you’re at a cyber cafe, a public place, or just want to avoid trackers and cookies….

Or you are tired of booking prices changing every time the site loads…

The simplest and easiest thing to do is to switch to private browsing. Your history won’t be saved, but your network activity may be monitored. So let’s go to level 2.

LEVEL 2

You don’t want your IP address to be tracked and want to remain anonymous online, or you want to access content present in other countries, the simplest thing to do is download a VPN software and open a private browsing window.

However, you can still be tracked with substantial effort, so hop on to step 3

LEVEL 3
