How you can stop Google from tracking you

How you can stop Google from tracking you

Google could have a complete list of almost everything you've ever looked at. The site collects information on your searches, browsing history, YouTube videos you've watched and more. But it can all be seen -and deleted -from one page.

Google's `My Activity' page includes all of those searches and pages. The list will at least include every Google search you've ever done while signed in. But if you use Google Chrome, it will also include just about every website you've ever visited, all catalogued by date and time.

Google collects the information in part so that it can be useful to you, but it is mostly to use it for ads. You can turn the collection off on the Activity Controls page.
