The other commenters have given you some good technical advice. privacytools.io provides a basic overview, which is commendable.

However, it's worth investigating in detail what exactly it is you worry about, and what privacy goals you have. Once you have a clear definition of those, write it down and think long and hard about whether it should inform your behavior. I used to be obsessed with privacy but after using this method I understood that I was in fact responding to a different set of emotions which manifested themselves into this. This led me to abandon my previous concerns and take the calculated risk between the convenience of internet services and the potential but nebulous harm that might come to me as a result of data trails.
