Step 5: Protect More Than Just Your IP Address
Changing your IP address alone does not completely erase your digital footprint.
Websites can use other information such as browser settings, cookies, account logins, and device characteristics to recognize returning visitors.
For stronger digital privacy, consider these habits:
1. Regularly review your privacy settings
2. Clear unnecessary cookies and browsing data
3 Use strong, unique passwords
4. Enable two-factor authentication
5. Keep your browser and devices updated
6. Avoid logging into sensitive accounts on unsecured public Wi-Fi
