TL;DR Summary

Google has settled a lawsuit by agreeing to delete billions of data records it compiled about millions of Chrome browser users, resolving claims that it had misled users by tracking their online activity in Chrome’s Incognito mode. As part of the settlement, Google will rewrite its disclosures to inform users about data collection in Incognito mode, maintain a change to Incognito mode that blocks third-party cookies by default for the next five years, and stop using technology that detects when users enable private browsing.
