2. While we are more concerned about our privacy and data , it’s the
foremost model of the search engines to keep track of the data and do
the analytics to be in business. While there are ways to keep yourself
out of the tracking system , its hidden deep and not been proliferated
for the oblivious business reasons .
I've stumbled upon an article from business Insider which gave the
required steps to erase your data's tracked with google , the same I
shared here .

3. It's not easy to find your "Web &
App Activity" page. You must be
logged into Google to see this
page. Once logged in, go to
https://history.google.com/history
/ and click on "all time."

4. This brings up a long list of all
the web pages you searched.
You can delete them but it
isn't easy. Google only lets
you delete one day at a time.
That will take forever to
cover years worth of data.
But you can try it anyway.
Click on today, then click the
delete button at the top.

5. You'll have to deal with a
warning from Google telling
you that you don't really
want to delete this
information. The truth is,
Google doesn't want you to
delete this information. You
may or may not want to. But
don't worry if you do. You
won't break the internet or
your Google account if you
hit the delete button.

6. Now, click on the little menu
button on the top left of the
screen

7. Here's where you'll find links
to the voice, device, location
and YouTube records Google
keeps on you. You can go to
those pages and delete stuff,
too.

8. But, you'll have to delete
everything one day at a time
and deal with Google's
warnings on why you don't
want to do that.

9. But, you'll have to delete

10. If you click on "location
history" in the menu, it takes
you to a page with a map,
which represents your
"timeline" of where and
when you traveled, via
Google Maps or other
location services. Now click
on the settings button on the
lower right corner.

11. From here you can delete all
of your location data, if you
choose. But if you really want
to see all the data Google has
collected on you, click on
"Download a copy of all your
data. You can also get to this
download page from your
"account settings" page.

12. Select your file type. (We
recommend the default, .zip,
since both Windows and
Macs computers can typically
open those files without
problem.) And select your
delivery method. You might
want to save it to Drive if you
have the space. Google
warns that archives that are
emailed may take hours or
days to compile. You'll have
to be patient. It still took two
hours when using Drive.
Google will email you when
its done.

13. you can explore what
advertisers are told about
you. While you are logged in,
go to any Google service and
click on your account icon.
Then click on "My Account."

14. In your account settings
page, On the left, the
"Activity controls" lets you
explore all the daily
information Google keeps on
you, too. The "Control your
content" lets you download
all of your data, too. But this
time, click on "Ads Settings"
then scroll down and click on
"Manage ad settings."

15. Control your google ads at
this page

16. Scroll down and click on
"control signed-out ads" and
you can turn off "interest-
based ads" at least for this
browser, meaning Google
won't share stuff about you
to advertisers. Google will
warn you against it.
