Use your Chrome history to personalize Google

By default, Chrome history that's saved to your Google Account is also added to Web & App Activity. Your activity may be used to personalize your experience on other Google products, like Search or ads. For example, you may see a news story recommended in your feed based on your Chrome history.

You can always control your Web & App Activity in your Google Account. Learn more about seeing and controlling Web & App Activity.

If you don't want to personalize your Google products, you can still use Google's cloud to store and sync your Chrome data without letting Google read any of your data. Learn more about keeping your info private.

• Your feed won’t show suggestions based on sites you browse in Chrome.
