You may be wondering how to clear Google search history. Fortunately, this is a simple process with many free and paid options available for you. In order to clear your Google search history, it’s important that you delete the cookies from all browsers that are logged in on your computer. This includes Chrome, Firefox, and Safari as well as Internet Explorer if you have it installed on your device.
Social networking sites and Google together are collecting the data that you left behind on the internet. These tech companies are focusing on improving their business models based on the digital traces of the individual user by selling that information to e-commerce sites. Your internet browser can gather a lot of information about you like, your behavior, and your tastes.
If you want to purchase anything from an e-commerce site later you change your mind not to buy that product, no one knows about your buying interest in that particular product, but your browser will keep on tracking and get back to you like an advertisement, sometimes it is good to get news and ads based on your interests. If this repeats and again then that will make us feel uncomfortable.
Even if you delete all the search history from your browser, the data will not be completely erased, that remaining data is enough for the companies to control your shopping.
