We spend a lot of our time browsing and surfing on social sites as Internet users, but we don't have to share it with our online activity sites. The bad news for you is that not only do you have every digital move tac, but can also be analyzed and stored and sold as data to small and big companies. This is a normal process and most users should make a difference while not. If you're monitoring someone else's activities when connected to the Internet, it can have consequences. From Google to the largest search engine or Internet company, from Internet search to calendar, smart assistant, maps and location data, this company is connected to users' everyday lives. The dugout is. Google knows a lot about the user, such as what they like, what they're going by train or flight, where they spend more time, what they search more on the Internet, where they go. The company knows more about Google's product users than any good friend of its. Let us know the full details

No one should trust data after the recent Cambridge Analytica scandal. We won't advise you to stop using Google or its products, but there are a few ways you can prevent your Google data from leaking and tracking google. This requires you to change some settings or habits. First, change these settings, most users use email accounts, and some have two or three email accounts. You may find it strange to know, but there are many ways to track whether you've opened a mail, or how many times you've opened a mail. This is called 'pixel tracking' and is easy to block on Gmail. Scroll down to the settings of the Gmail account and an image will see a cry. Select 'Ask before displaying external images' in it. If you no longer see the photo, the pixels won't be tracked.

Google knows when you went or how much time you spent. This helps with its 'Location History' feature, which can be switched off. Google says it tracks every place where you take the device. Even if you're not using a Google service. For this you have to go to Google Account > Data and Personalization after going to myaccount.google.com Google Account > Location History after personalization and slide the toggle on Paused, Google is now not only a search engine but also a smart assistant. All you have to do is say OK Google. What's more, After Ok Google, Google is also able to save a recording of any questions or keywords you ask. If you don't want this (which is obvious, you don't want to) then go to Data and Personalization on the Google My Account page. Paused the toggle after clicking on voice and audio activity here.

Google also tracks your purchases if you use Gmail. The Google Support page says that the company compiles placed orders with Google Services such as the Google Play Store, Google Express or Google Assistant, and Gmail also provides a receipt and confirmation for the same. If you can delete things from this list. For this, go to Gmail Confirmations on my account page. Click on the three dots on the right side of the screen in the Remove> View email to delete any item you want to delete from the list and click on 'Delete Des Message'. You'll need to do this repeatedly for each item. Google Search tracks your search keyword and shows the ads associated with it, so why not leave it to the search engine. Instead, you can use search engines like DuckDuckGo that don't track you. If you need to use Google, it's better to search Google on another browser instead of the browser you've logged into. When you're not logged in or search in incognito mode while you're doing Google Search, it's still a matter.

To prevent your account from being hacked, two-factor authentication can be turned on. This way, logging in from the new device into the account will result in OTP on your number without which you cannot be logged in. For this, go to Security after visiting the Google My Account page. Select 2-step verification here and enter the password again. Now follow the steps on the screen to set up the Authenticator app. Clear that Google knows a lot about you. The most important thing is to keep your basic data hidden from the others. Google shares your basic details in some cases. To understand and stop this, go to aboutme.google.com. Go to the different information you see about yourself and select 'Hidden from other users' from settings. So after you will be largely away from tracking Google at least.
