How to delete your Google Browsing History before new policy

With just a week to go before Google changes to its new privacy policy that
allows it to gather, store and use personal information, users have a last
chance to delete their Google Browsing History, along with any damning
information therein.
Tech News Daily reports that once Google's new unified privacy policy takes
effect all data already collected about you, including search queries,
sites visited, age, gender and location will be gathered and assigned to
your online identity represented by your Gmail and YouTube accounts. After
the policy takes effect you are not allowed to opt out without abandoning
Google altogether. But now before the policy takes effect, you have the
option of deleting your Google Web History by modifying your settings so
that Google is unable to associate data collected about you with your Gmail
or YouTube accounts.
Tech News Daily reports that Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), a
nonprofit organization based in San Francisco that advocates for online
privacy, says: "Search data can reveal particularly sensitive
information about you, including facts about your location, interests, age,
sexual orientation, religion, health concerns, and more."
EFF advises all Google users to delete their web history.
Meanwhile, Center for Digital Democracy has filed a complaint with the
Federal Trade Commission, asking the Commission to sue Google to stop the
policy change. Tech News Daily reports FTC can impose fines up to $16,000
per day for violation.
Daily Mail reports that deleting your browsing history before March 1 when
Google's new privacy policy comes into effect will limit Google's ability
to track and record your every move online. The process is simple. Follow
the steps below:
1. Go to the google homepage and sign into your account.
2. Click the dropdown menu next to your name in the upper-right hand corner
of your screen.
3. Click accounts settings
4. Find the "Services section"
5. Under "Services" there is a sub-section that reads "View,
enable, disable web history." Click the link next to it that reads:
"Go to Web History." (Note: When you click "Go to Web
History" you may be taken to a page which gives you the options
"Turn Web History On"/"No Thanks": Click "Turn Web
History On" and you will finally be taken to step 6 below)
6. Click on "Remove all Web History"
When you click on "Remove all Web History," a message appears
that says " Web History is Paused." What this means is that while
Google will continue gathering and storing information about your web
history it will make all data anonymous, that is, Google will not associate
your Web History information with your online accounts and will therefore
be unable to send you customized search results.
Google's ability to gather personalized information about you by assigning
data to your Gmail and YouTube accounts will remain "Paused" till
you click "Resume."
