Why You Should Use Internet Privacy Software
When you cruise the internet at home or at the office, your computer could be leaving a trail of where you have been to multitudes of people. Many sites use files called “cookies” to track where you are on their site. Some web sites install these cookies on your machine from other web sites that you never visit.
When was the last time you visited doubleclick.net? If you cruise the web for a short while and visit enough of the more popular web sites, it is quite possible this site has their cookie on your machine. This is in spite of you never visiting their site. When you visit other sites, the sites read your cookies and can see the cookie from doubleclick. You are being tracked. How do you stop this from happening? One way is to have internet privacy software installed on your computer.

Stop and think about this next example. Let’s say you have a job that requires you to get in your car and drive about forty five minutes to get to work. As you leave the driveway, another car pulls in behind you and starts to follow you down the road. On the way to work you stop at the ATM to get some money to pay for lunch. You also stop for a donut and some coffee because you did not get up in time to eat breakfast. This same “someone” is following you to the ATM and to the Dunkin´ Donuts and they are even following you to your job. What would you think about this person? I do not know about you, but I would think about calling the police!
But without internet privacy software, this is the very thing going on electronically inside your computer when you are surfing the web. You may visit your favorite news site, you may visit eBay, and a little later you may visit your bank to check your account. People can see where you have been. What is worse is that after a while people can predict where you will go. If you visit the same sites over and over, and most people do, it is not hard to see a pattern of online usage.
Internet privacy software can clean your cookies for you so that people cannot view where you have been. This means they cannot see your online “tracks” and follow you around anymore. This type of software can do other good things that aren’t mentioned here. Please note that the example given in that last paragraph is only if you visit what are considered “safe” or “every day” categories of sites.
If those “safe” sites can read where you have been what do you think an unscrupulous owner of an unsafe site does with your personal information? Not only will they have a list of where you go online, they can see other information about your computer that you are not aware of. These people are not just out to see your private information, they may be collecting it and selling it to people who have very bad motives for wanting it.
As you can see, just like traveling in a strange city, you do not know who you can trust when you travel online. This is why it is good to protect your privacy with the right software.
