Securely connecting to a VPN server would prevent your ISP from recording your browsing history but it won't stop the cookies which are often trying to do much the same thing. Often this website shows me adverts for products that I have recently been researching on other websites.

You have a number of choices on how to fight back, one site to research such stuff is the EFF - Electronic Frontier Foundation - https://www.eff.org/
For example:
1) Use EFF's Privacy Badger extension in your browser to break 'tracking' links
2) Use an adblocker to prevent Google and the other big advert vendors tracking you
3) Use a browser that builds in tracking blocking (e.g. Firefox)
These are easier to do on macOS / Windows / Linux than on Android or iOS of course.
To mitigate your ISP tracking you, ensure all websites you use are HTTPS, and that your browser uses DNS -over-HTTPS. Alternatively use a VPN, there are good comments about NordVPN.

I've been using the free Disconnect addon with Firefox for the past month. Its developer says it will "visualize and block the otherwise invisible websites that track your search and browsing history ... Load the pages you go to up to 44% faster and save up to 39% bandwidth."
I haven't had a browsing-related ad since, and pages do load more quickly.

I'm a little concerned the OP is a software developer in the USA.
Could this just be a trawl for product or market research? Depending partly on whether he is a small firm or part of a large one. The law over there is very different from ours for a start.
This search gives interesting results.
My broadband basic info/help site - www.robertos.me.uk. Domains, site and mail hosting - Tsohost.
Connection - Three 4G, tbb tests normally 35-45Mpbs down, 65Mbps off-peak, 9-24 up.

This is probably better for a new thread but if Labour do get in and nationalise broadband and things like the snooper charter would have come in with no or minimal objections from the ISP industry.
Just my thoughts on what Politian's call function cream. We want to do this for "the greater good" but in turn it will allow all sorts of other things to be recorded and god knows they will then do next.

Can we avoid the name calling and petty attacks.
You are free to disagree with policies and plans but stick to those rather than personality
