Google agreed to settle a 2020 class-action alleging Chrome's Incognito mode tracked users, consenting to delete billions of event-level records and redact identifiable data (IP addresses, detailed URLs, User-Agent specifics, and the X-Client-Data header). The settlement also requires blocking third-party cookies in Incognito for five years and coincides with Google updating Incognito wording and Gmail bulk-sender controls to reduce spam and tracking.
