Don't let Google track you. Change these 3 settings ASAP

Google can log your searches, watch history, and activity across its various services. That might sound handy for a quick review of your browsing history or revisiting locations on Google Maps, but the company's data collection practices can feel invasive at times. Your data helps Google serve faster searches and better location tracking, but it's also used to serve you ads and "recommended" content. Looking to dial back Google's influence? It's a good idea to occasionally check in on what data it has from you.

Thankfully, Google has built-in tools that allow you to change what information you're sharing. You can head to Google's My Activity dashboard to view your data. The Data & privacy section of your Google account dashboard also lets you make changes, with easy access to Personalized ads settings. It's easy to check and change these options, but the company counts on you never taking the time to actually do it. If you're ready to take back some control, here's what to do next.

Wipe Your Web and App Activity​

If you use Google Search or any Google-owned apps, your activity will be tracked under the Web & App Activity section. From this screen, I use the drop-down menu and choose Turn off to immediately stop Google from tracking my activity. If you select Turn off and delete activity, it will disable the feature but also wipe all previously saved information from Google's servers.
