You may realize they also track you on YouTube, Gmail, Chrome, Android, Gmaps, and all the other services they run. Google tracks you on more than just their search engine. #2 - Block Google trackers lurking everywhere. For more details, check out our privacy policy. We simply don’t store anything that can tie your searches to you personally, or even tie them together into a search history that could later be tied back to you. We don’t track you at all, regardless what browsing mode you are in.Įach time you search on DuckDuckGo, it’s as if you’ve never been there before. To keep your searches private and out of data profiles, the government, and other legal requests, you need to use DuckDuckGo. All it does is delete your local browsing history after your session on your device, but does nothing from stopping any website you visit, including Google, from tracking you via your IP address and other tracking mechanisms like browser fingerprinting. It’s an extremely misleading name and in my opinion should be changed. “Incognito” mode isn’t really incognito at all. So-called incognito mode won’t protect you either. Google could do this too they just chose not to- all that tracking is to power their ad networks so that ads can follow you around the Internet using your search history and other information they have on you. That’s how we make money and it doesn't involve tracking because it is based on the keyword and not the person. When you search ‘car’ we can show you a car ad without knowing anything about you.
In fact, it’s a myth that you need to track people to make money in web search. On Google, your searches are tracked, mined, and packaged up into a data profile for advertisers to follow you around the Internet through those intrusive and annoying ever-present banner ads, using Google’s massive ad networks, embedded across millions of sites and apps. All of that personal information should be private, but on Google it’s not. You share your most intimate secrets with your search engine without even thinking: medical, financial and personal issues, along with all the day to day things that make you, well, you.
