How to prevent Companies tracking your footprint

I think it worked for me and I can not see how they will catch me. I don't think I am doing any foul playing but having multiple acct with Google and others may not be allowed or they force you to tie one with the other.

This is what I did: I usually use firefox so I go to tools >> Options >> history drop down menu >> use custom settings for history

and do as in the picture below. That type of setting will delete cookies whenever you exit Firefox and when you restart it, it starts afresh. You may change othe settings as it suits your liking.

    In the long term, especially with google, especially if it's money involved, if you`re using the same IP for multiple accs, you're gonna have a bad time.

    There are some permanent cookies you can't delete. After using CCcleaner I recomment you to install BetterPrivacy for your firefox. That deletes everything!

    Hope I could help.

    I was shocked to read a story of some marketer getting his CB account closed. The reason they told him was that he was using two different accounts. He said that he didn't but their decision was final. Anyways making browsers delete cookies will save us I believe from lots of hassle.
