of them provides checkout as guest option as well, please go for guest checkout
and prevent details to save on those websites, also try to use incognito mode
while browsing for any online products, this will prevent you from sharing your
data to ads provider.

Use some
password manager like “Last pass” and make a password pattern for yourself and
use different password for each and every website/services. Make sure your
password length should not be less than 6 to 8 character having Capital and
small letters, one special character at least. The more these things you will
include in your password, it will become exponentially harder for any cracker
