    So to clarify, this is saying that if you’re logged into your Google account in Chrome and you launch an incognito window, your browsing activity will still get associated with your Google account, which will affect your ad recommendations? Is that right?

      It’s saying that incognito mode doesn’t prevent people on the web from tracking you, that’s all.

      I.e. enabling incognito mode could still have an entity profile you, etc. like your ISP, government, or any corporation that you visit the website for.

      This is a nothingburger.
