RECLAIM YOUR DIGITAL GOLD



          GO INCOGNITO (UNNOTICED)


          When  you browse the  web anonymously, your  web
          browser does  not  save  cookies on your  computer  or
          device. Regardless, any website you visit will be able to
          see your IP address because they require it in order to
          function. This means that your activity does not appear

          using  one  to confuse people  who are  attempting  to
          follow you on the Internet,  which is a low-cost option.

          In summary, keeping tabs on you over the Internet isn’t
          done  maliciously; however, depending  on how much
          you value  your anonymity  when  using  the  Internet,  it
          may appear  that  way. All  of the  preceding  examples
          demonstrate  how targeted  ads  work.  They can also
