> Can the information collected in incognito mode be traced back to you
Absolutely, but not necessarily with Google/FB's tracking systems. Your IP is enough to identify you and join to your other Internet activity, in most cases.
This is why Incognito Mode's New Tab Page says:
Your activity might still be visible to:
* Websites you visit
* Your employer or school
* Your internet service provider
- inlined 7y agoSorry I should have asked a better question: do the alleged trackers use low level tools that would bypass incognito (e.g. IP address, fingerprinting) to join your information with your non-incognito profile?
- papln 7y agoYes. Browser have been making partial attempts to resist this, but it's an intractable problem in general -- You can't interact with a website without leaking information about yourself. Using a trusted proxy that serves many people can help.
