Privacy and Security in Chrome

Maintaining your privacy in Chrome

Google Chrome takes great care to keep your personal information private. Chrome offers a lot of ways to control your privacy, like modifying your Privacy Settings, deleting your History, and browsing in Incognito mode.

Watch this video from Google to learn more about Google Chrome's privacy settings and features.

Privacy Settings

Chrome allows you to control some of the information you share on the Web, which you can modify in your Privacy Settings. We recommend that you do not change Chrome's default selections, as they allow for the best balance of privacy and security while browsing. However, you can modify them if you choose.

To modify Privacy Settings:

  1. Click the Chrome menu in the top-right corner of the browser, then select Settings.
  2. The Settings tab will appear. Locate and select Show advanced settings.

  4. To modify specific settings, like when webpages can save cookies or access your location, click the Content settings button.
