    March 1 is the day Google's new unified privacy policy goes into  effect, which means your Google Web History will be shared among all of  the Google products you use.

 Do you know if Google is tracking your Web activity? If you have a  Google account (for, say, Gmail) and have not specifically located and  paused the Web History setting, then the search giant is keeping track  of your searches and the sites you visited. This data has been separated  from other Google products, but on March 1 it will be shared across all  of the Google products you use when Google's new privacy policy goes into effect.

 If you'd like to prevent Google from combining this potentially  sensitive data with the information it has collected from your YouTube,  Google+, and other Google accounts, you can remove your Web History and  stop it from being recorded moving forward.



You can remove all of your Web History with the press of a button.
 
After signing into your Google account, type  https://www.google.com/history into your browser. (Alternatively, you  can choose Account Settings from the pull-down menu in the upper-right  corner of a Google product such as Gmail, Google+, or Google.com. From  the Account Settings page, scroll down to the Services header and click  on the "Go to web history" link.) If your Web History is enabled, you'll  see a list of recent searches and sites visited. Click the gray Remove  all Web History button at the top of the page and a subsequent OK button  to clear your Web History.



Just the way I like it, empty and paused.
 
 This action also pauses the Web History feature so that it will no  longer track your Web searches and whereabouts. If you'd like to fire it  back it, simply click the blue Resume button.

I may fail, but don't give into fear,  living at peace and achieving goals.


Your success is your responsibility!
