macrumors.com/2024/04/01/google-delete-chrome-incognito-data/
Quick Glance: Google to Delete Search Data of Millions Who Used 'Incognito' Mode
- Google will destroy 'billions of data records' of peoples' private browsing history as part of a settlement disclosed on Monday over the company's web-tracking practices.
- For years, Google simply informed users of Chrome's internet browser that 'you've gone Incognito' and 'now you can browse privately,' when the supposedly untraceable browsing option was turned on — without saying what bits of data the company has been harvesting.
- The suit revealed that Google saved the standard and incognito browsing history of users in the same profile to inform personalized ads that the company served up.
- Under the deal, Google will have to state that the company itself can also track browsing during incognito mode and will by default block third-party companies from tracking peoples' cookies.
