As well as using the DuckDuckGo search engine you can install their
browser privacy extension - 'DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials'
For Chrome - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/duckduckgo-privacy-essent/bkdgflcldnnnapblkhphbgpggdiikppg
Also available for most other browsers. It should stop most advert tracking.

DuckDuckGo also has tutorials about privacy and tracking.
