Not only that, there's not really any way Google could avoid tracking people who're using Incognito mode, because that would require telling websites that Incognito mode is in use - which itself is a privacy issue and any method of detecting this ends up being widely abused to try and foce people not to use it. I can't imagine that letting Google and only Google have access to this information would go down any better.
- tedivm 5y agoIn theory Google could send the Do Not Track header to notify people they shouldn't track, but very few sites honor that (and Google Analytics certainly doesn't).
