- wrkronmiller 6y agoIncognito basically just means "doesn't show up in my history". There are many, many, ways to track users without needing cookies.
- gear54rus 6y ago> doesn't show up in my history AND drop all cookies from all domains. > There are many, many, ways There probably are. I haven't ever seen it work though. If I get into incognito, my ads show something different my normal profile. In theory, they can track you from your OS/browser combination (and many more variables), but is there a way to test it?

- shakna 6y agoIt isn't theoretical. Google is currently facing a lawsuit (Brown et al v Google LLC et al) for tracking people who assumed Chrome's incognito meant Google would stop tracking them.

- shadowgovt 6y agoThat's a hilarious premise for a lawsuit, because that's never what incognito mode meant.

- solarkraft 6y agoI'm not going to do this because I'd still have to click the "I consent" button, which I do not. Archive.is, it is.
