Google to delete records from Incognito tracking

Google has agreed to delete billions of records and submit to some restrictions on its power to track users, under the terms of a proposed legal settlement.
On Monday, Google also agreed to delete “hundreds of billions” of private browsing data records it had collected, the court filing said.
The lawsuit had claimed that despite its suggestions to the contrary, Google had tracked users’ activity even when they set the Google Chrome browser to “Incognito” mode and other browsers to “private mode”.
The legal battle revealed documents in which Google employees described Incognito as “effectively a lie” and “a confusing mess”, according to Monday’s court filing.
In the US, Google and its parent company Alphabet are facing two separate monopoly cases brought by the federal government.
