You can block most trackers by using extensions like ghostie, and simply setting your OS systems right, but still sites can track you?

The net Is just a minority.

The moment you get a driver's license, social security number, cell phone account, electricity account, rent an apartment, establish a bank account ( I could go on all night) and so forth, your details are exposed. Your Info Is only as safe as the person (at a given entity) who controls It.

A person could have all security measures In place for his cell phone number and account, but If I social engineered his cell phone carrier (claiming to be the account holder), thus update his billing address to my very own nominated address, I'd then have his details at my disposal.
