The trackers (let’s give them this name for convenience) use various techniques to track your online activities. Two most basic ways they use are, using cookies or by examining IP addresses. Now no tools exist on internet that can hide you completely, but there are tried and tested ways which can grant your certain level of anonymity.
1. Private Browsing: This is the easiest and quickest way to start with. Nowadays all browsers provide this mode. This private tab keeps your computer clear of all your online data usage.

2. Use of a proxy server: Proxy server is a technique which hides your IP from websites and put its own IP instead. This it helps you to conceal your identity on internet. The proxy server works like a shield protecting your IP address. There are numerous web based proxy services, which one can use without any cost. If you need someone hiding your IP constantly, then you might do well with a standalone application program. You can choose one from various applications available on internet, which will redirect all requests made from your computer through various proxy servers. But most of the time, this service comes with some basic cost.
