Although this data is used to enhance your browsing experience going forward, it also can be personal in nature.

If other people use your computer, keep things private by browsing in Incognito Mode.

Data files are used by your computer for a variety of purposes, ranging from keeping a history of the sites you visited to saving site-specific preferences in small text files known as cookies.

Chrome Incognito Mode removes most private data components so they are not left behind at the end of the current session.

Select the Chrome main menu button, represented by three vertically placed dots and located in the upper-right corner of the browser window.

When the drop-down menu appears, choose New Incognito Window.

To launch incognito mode using a keyboard shortcut, press CtrlShiftN on Chrome OS, Linux, and Windows, or press CmdShiftN on Mac OS X or macOS.

You can also open a new incognito window with the File menu on a Macintosh.

A status message, as well as a brief explanation, displays in the main portion of the Chrome browser window.

You might also notice that the graphics at the top of the window are a shade darker, and the Incognito Mode logo displays in the upper-right corner.

While this logo is displayed, all history and temporary internet files are not recorded and stored.

When you browse privately, no one else who uses your computer can see your activity.

It merely means your browsing session is sanitized on your own computer.
