Accounts, cookies and other identifiers can still identify you. A different IP is not complete anonymity.

Example only. This is not your current VPN status.
Complete the café or hotel’s sign-in page before connecting. The VPN encrypts traffic to its server; keep HTTPS enabled and check that the website you are visiting is genuine.
