Web Anonymizer. Why would I hide my identity. Anonymity allows people express themselves freely without having to consider the implications of it being traced back to their real identity. We strongly believe that's a right everyone should have (as long as they stay within the bounds of law) and we are highly disturbed by the ongoing crusade on privacy led by governments and large Internet companies alike.

An anonymizer like this one hides your IP address by serving as a proxy. The anonymizer contacts the website on your behalf and forwards you all the data, so your computer never establishes a direct connection with the website. Another widespread means of tracking is cookies . Cookies are small pieces of information that a website can ask your browser to store on your computer and include in every request to that website. Cookies are used by almost every website out there to determine that a series of requests was made by the same user (for example, to remember that you are logged in, or the items you've put into a shopping cart).
