Hello everyone, I have browsed this forum looking for a answer but finally decided to sign up to see if anyone can help me. I have around 4 Bitcoin that I want to put into storage for a long time. How would I go about this, to make sure they are secure. I was thinking about doing something like those Physical coins. Putting each coin on a bit of paper, but how would I do that.

Thanks.

Even if you use Bitcoin through Tor, the way transactions are handled by the network makes anonymity difficult to achieve. Do not expect your transactions to be anonymous unless you really know what you're doing.

What you're looking for is a "paper wallet".
Look here for some explanation:

If I use one of those sites to make a wallet, if those sites get hacked won't my keys be visible. Do you also have to trust the site.

Use armory, a trust-less system.

The website https://www.bitaddress.org/ also works in offline mode, the only remaining problem would be if your PC is already infected with malware.
