Yeah tell me about it. A woman friend wanted one of those fruit fru fru drinks.
And uses the mic to listen.
They can be. Many of them aren't by default, but 5 minutes of clicking through the Control Panel and personalization settings, and your machine is as secure as any other OS.
BTW I prefer a single malt scotch.
On top of the google cookie, the major internet providers are also adding code to the packet headers to allow them to track individuals. This is beyond what is done for normal routing.

Get in the habit of only searching for things in 'secure' search engines. ixquick.com is a good one. They don't save/record your IP address or search history.
Not having social media accounts such as Facebook helps.
Routinely delete cookies from your web browser.
If you have an iPhone,
Go to "Settings"
Go to "Privacy"
Go to "Location services" turn off location services on everything except for Maps, and Siri - set those to "While using."
Then go to "Advertising" turn on "Limit Ad Tracking," then click "Reset Advertising Identifier.

When you purchase from the Internet, use sites that are reputable and do not provide your information to third parties.
I haven't had targeted ads (aside from a few I signed up for like sportsmansguide and centerfire because I'm a customer and also receive their print catalogues by request) since probably about 2009ish. Of course, when I go to Amazon, I get the "you may like" based on my search history within Amazon, but I don't get emails or anything of the sort other than purchase/shipping confirmations.
Hope that helps.

I guess the windows “in private” browser tab would accomplish that?
