Google Chrome Browser Settings: Google Chrome is one of the most widely used browsers. However, many users don’t like any browser to track and record several types of online activities. For instance, after searching for something on Chrome, you may notice advertisements related to your search popping up. If you want to stop this from happening, you will need to adjust your settings. According to information available on American technology giant Google’s Support portal, here’s how you can make these adjustments:
For Desktop Users:
1. Open Chrome on your computer.
2. In the top right corner, click on More (three dots) and select Settings.
3. Go to Privacy and Security, then select Third-party cookies.
4. Toggle the option to Send a “Do Not Track” request with your browsing traffic to On or Off, depending on your preference.
For Android Users:
1. Open Chrome on your Android device.
2. Tap the More (three dots) icon to the right of the address bar and select Settings.
3. Tap Privacy and Security.
4. Enable or disable the Send a “Do Not Track” request option.

What is Do Not Track?
Do Not Track is a privacy feature available in most web browsers. When enabled, it sends a request to websites asking them not to collect or track your browsing data. By default, this feature is turned off.
However, it’s important to note that the feature only sends a request — it’s up to the websites you visit whether or not they choose to honor it. Many websites still collect and use your browsing data to improve security, provide content and services, serve ads, make recommendations, and generate reporting statistics.
It’s still worth enabling this feature as it adds an extra layer of privacy to your online activity.
