Cookies and tracking...?

[hydrocodone]

I'm currently hooked up to the Internet via a network cable, to a family member's Internet connection. The network cable is connected from the main computer to my laptop. I'm a bit weird about them possibly tracking the website I visit (nothing crazy, just slight paranoia on my part), so my question is-- is there any way to prevent this? Nothing illegal, but are there any files that get recorded on the main computer that I can get rid of to prevent them from checking my website history, if there is such a thing? Thanks for the help, and excuse my cluelessness.

I don't think they could see anything, but you could always use a proxy server.

you could always use a proxy server.

What do you mean? And sorry about my lack of knowledge, really.

Originally, I tried to hook up to the connection with the wireless network, but that was password-protected. Using the network cable didn't require me to use a password.

What you surf will only show up on your comp not your parents comp.

If you clean out your browser histroy and use ccleaner, so they can't view the history, then, no they can't track it.

I know on some ISPs, you can request what websites are being visited.
