My name is Luqman Mahmud, and this page is here to help you against Online Tracking.

This is a web page created to raise awareness about online tracking and show you how you are being tracked, how you can put a stop to being tracked and which are:

Who is doing the tracking?

Why should you care?

What information is being collected?

Ways to stop tracking from happening?

You can protect yourself by doing these steps anytime you are online or while you are using your smart phone or computer.

1. Read the Terms of Service Agreements for sites you give your information to. Especially sites you give your financial information to.

2. Use a search engine that doesn’t track you, like DuckDuckGo or Startpage for searches you want to keep private. Google’s Incognito setting, Microsoft’s Do Not Track setting and other browser privacy settings are not always effective, because they typically leave the decision of whether to track you up to the website you visit.

3. Use a tool to encrypt your connection, like CyberGhost VPN or Tor. Be sure to use one of these tools if you are accessing the Internet through a public WiFi connection at a coffee shop.

4. Adjust your Facebook privacy settings so that only your friends can see your information.

5. Have different email addresses for different things, i.e. an email for work, a personal email, and an email you give to online stores. This makes it harder for companies to flesh out a profile of you.

6. Use different passwords for different sites. A lot of sites store your password and know your email login name.

7. Regularly clear out the cookies and caches in your computer. Many companies will track you for months if you don’t clean these out.

8. Use a browser add-on like "Ghostery", "Privacyfix" or "Do Not Track Plus" to see who is tracking you on any given website. You can use these tools to avoid being tracked altogether or to limit who can access your data.
