What step should be taken to ensure privacy online?

Avoid Web sites monitored by independent organizations.
Visit Web sites anonymously.
Adjust your Web browser settings to save cookies.
Maintain only one e-mail account.

The correct answer is: Visit Web sites anonymously.

Visiting websites anonymously is an effective step to ensure privacy online. By browsing anonymously, users can prevent websites, advertisers, and even internet service providers from tracking their activities and personal information. This can be achieved through various means, such as using privacy-focused web browsers, VPNs (Virtual Private Networks), or anonymous browsing modes that don't store browsing history or cookies. Anonymity helps to safeguard personal data and reduce the chances of targeted advertising or data collection. On the other hand, avoiding websites monitored by independent organizations might give a false sense of security, as it doesn't address the core issue of data collection and tracking across many sites. Adjusting web browser settings to save cookies can ironically lead to diminished privacy, as cookies can store personal information and track browsing habits. Maintaining only one e-mail account also does not directly enhance online privacy; it might simplify account management but doesn’t effectively prevent data tracking or enhance privacy when engaging with various online services.
