> If I log into my gmail and then do a search is that search still saved on Google's servers? Depends what you mean by "saved" but generally data will be processed on the server-side in the same way as from a non-incognito browser. > Can a service like Google search tell if the browser I'm using is in incognito/private browsing mode? Not in a reliable fashion. > What does the browser do? Does it remove all cookies/cache information when I go into private browsing mode? Or does it keep all the cookies and cache data from regular browsing but just doesn't save any new ones? Neither, even though it may vary from browser to browser the general approach is to create a second temporary clean browser instance, which is separate from any other non-incognito instance.
