Bandung, IndonesiaSentinel.com — Google is known for tracking users’ movements even when location history is turned off. This constant monitoring can explain why users often see ads for products they’ve just discussed. However, if you prefer not to be tracked, there are steps you can take to limit Google’s surveillance of your online activity.

Here’s how to disable Google’s tracking features, according to CNET:

  1. Visit Google.com on your desktop or mobile browser.
  2. Sign in to your Google account.
  3. Go to the menu and select “Manage your Google Account.”
  4. Under “Privacy & Personalization,” choose “Manage your Data & Personalization.”
  5. Scroll down to the “Activity Controls” section and click “Manage your Activity Controls.”
  6. Find the “Web & App Activity” box and toggle it off.
  7. You’ll receive a notification explaining what happens when you turn off this setting. Confirm by selecting “Pause.”

Once these steps are completed, Google’s tracking features will be disabled. This means you’ll no longer receive personalized ads and search recommendations. Instead, you may encounter less relevant ads and less useful search suggestions, as your personalized experience will be reduced.
