Watch privately using Incognito mode
If you don't want YouTube to remember your activity, you can use Incognito mode. For example, if you watch a video in Incognito mode, it won't change your account's recommended videos.
On mobile, you can find Incognito in the account menu. Or you can use the private mode of your favourite browser. Learn more about Incognito mode.
Control your privacy
YouTube is committed to protecting your privacy. When signed in, you can access your data in YouTube to see what data is being stored in your account. You can also take advantage of a comprehensive set of privacy settings.
