Even though cookies and browsing history will be deleted off your computer once you close the window, websites these days may have access to sophisticated tools such as browser fingerprinting, which can still allow them to link you to your real identity. It doesn’t mean your activity can’t be traced back to you.The data you enter on those sites (the things you search for, the links you click, etc.) will probably still be monitored and recorded by those websites. It doesn’t hide your activity from the websites you visit.For this reason (and other obvious ones) you really shouldn’t be doing anything on your work/school computer that you want hidden. Your activity may still be tracked by the resident IT person or the institution’s provider. That’s extra true if you happen to be internetting at work or at school.Your ISP can still monitor the sites you visit.

It cannot hide your activity from your internet service provider.
