[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1835824, member: 110816"] Did you enter your name at any point in time during your research to get access to info that you needed? If so, that information is saved on the server side and any amount of cleaning you do on the client side (the one you control) will not help. Web developers are getting better and better at tracking users who visit their site and especially sites that require you to purchase something. Believe it not, there are statistics that show that if you provide a friendly "face" to the visitor and allow them to pick up where they were before, they are more inclined to purchase something as opposed to having them start from scratch each time. You look like you are very serious about your security in which case you should be doing the following two things: 1) Always on a VPN and 2) always using Private/Incognito and whatever else each browser calls it depending on your browser. The second part will essentially not allow for much tracking of you and also will kill all extensions (which might not be a desirable thing for you). [/QUOTE]
