Question

How do I set my browser to Incognito or Private mode?

Answer

Note: While in Private or Incognito mode nothing is stored to your computer, however, this does not mean you are anonymous on the Internet. Each page that you visit still recognizes your IP address. Therefore, if someone had the legal abilities to track you using your IP address an ISP, web site, and even a search engine server log may contain your IP address, which could be tracked.
