Until now, your Google Web History (your Google searches and sites visited) was cordoned off from Google's other products. This protection was especially important because search data can reveal particularly sensitive information about you, including facts about your location, interests, age, sexual orientation, religion, health concerns, and more. If you want to keep Google from combining your Web History with the data they have gathered about you in their other products, such as YouTube or Google Plus, you may want to remove all items from your Web History and stop your Web History from being recorded in the future. I've done so, and I think its worth doing. -------------------- Rush's law - Everybody in government lies. You can't be sure what they're lying about, but you can be sure they're lying.

Sign in to Gmail then go to Google and click on the little wheel at the upper right next to your sign in name and then options. If your history is enabled there should be plenty to look at.

As noted by her Google has been tracking us for years any not to mention the ads at sites like these forums and other sites and how quickly they can show up.

Busy Beaver Group: Admin Posts: 17,409 Member No.: 5 Joined: 15-March 06	I read that if I registered at google, could then get my mail there, and I sure dont understand, why the password etc, I already have wont work. Doesnt make any sense to me. I rarely go to gmail website either, because mail comes into OE, but, I do go there on occasion, to delete all the emails that they seem to want to keep, for no reason. --------------------
