Google stores your search history for 18 months (http://www.google.com/policies/privacy/faq/ http://www.google.com/policies/privacy/faq/) and your browsing history indefinitely (using ad cookies).
They do not offer to delete either (though they do give you some controls, which is way more than most other tracking services). Prove me wrong.

They don't offer easy options to delete everything (though they do give advice on how to remove information from third-party sites), but it's better than nothing. https://www.google.com/dashboard https://www.google.com/dashboard They also tell you what cannot be removed through the dashboard, and give a list of things that are not deletable (but also not tied to your account). https://support.google.com/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=162743 https://support.google.com/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=en&...
- byoogle 15y agoAgain, Google doesn’t let you delete your search or browsing history. I’d argue this is, by far, the most personal info they collect about you. Google doesn’t even mention either in the two links you gave.
