What is Incognito Mode?

Browsing in Incognito mode means your activity data isn’t saved on your device, or to a Google Account you’re not signed into.

For example, you may use Incognito mode to shop online for a birthday gift for a family member who shares your device. If you don’t sign in to your Google account, your shopping activity will not appear in your Chrome browsing activity and won’t be saved to your Google Account.

Each time you close all Incognito windows, Chrome discards any site data and cookies associated with that browsing session.
​
Chrome doesn’t tell websites, including Google, when you're browsing privately in Incognito mode.

So: Chrome won’t save the following information:
Your browsing history
Cookies and site data
Information entered in forms

However: Your activity might still be visible to:
Websites you visit
Your employer or school
Your internet service provider

Note: Block third-party cookies
