Google's tracking

[Maverick]

Generally for folks with a google account such as email etc...
If you go to google search and type in 'My Activity' then click on 'Welcome to My Activity' or go here: https://myactivity.google.com/myactivity - sign in to google, bingo, your entire history is listed (You can delete your entire history) Anyone with access to your google account can see your history (even if you deleted your browser history) so not just your browser history exposes your online activity

This is what google tracks (all information can be deleted on 'My Activity')

Web & App Activity
YouTube Watch History
YouTube Search History
Voice & Audio Activity
Device Information

Love it, a great security step. If anyone has any other good tips for Opsec or Persec when online I would appreciate it.

How to see everything Google knows about you
It’s no secret that Google knows a lot about its users.

Well, being a no-tech savvy type I had no idea about this type of stuff. I've just checked, and my browsing history was available back to 2014! Now it isn't. So Thanks Maverick. Oh and I've also put a recurring reminder on my calendar to clean Google out once a month.

It is a good tip inst it Sally, Keeps your stuff away from "" Sponsored Advertisers" Spooks, hackers etc.

It is when you didn't even know about it.

As someone who recently opened a prepper supplies store I cannot believe how much I have learned about the breadth of Google. Their search algorithm is so detailed I would imagine NASA guys would look like a monkey trying to do math if they looked at it. Google knows FAR more about you and the things you do than you think and in my case if I don't play well with Google my business will never get off the ground, so I have had to learn to live with Google and their immense reach.
