Google’S Privacy Policy

[anotheoldgit]

I can no longer use Google, because it says

/// To be consistent with data protection laws, we’re asking you to take a moment to review key points of Google’s Privacy Policy. This isn’t about a change that we’ve made – it’s just a chance to review some key
points. ///

Have others received this request, and if so what action did you take?

[Cloverjo]

I haven't seen that. Can't you just click it away and carry on as usual?

"Privacy Policy" is a misnomer if ever there was one - "Information Gathering Policy" would be more accurate, aog!

Can you provide a context? Was that in an email? What address did it come from? Or was it on some link as you were randomly browsing the internet?

Comes up on Google search page. ^^ Sorry re double above - struggling with Kaspersky/AB problem.

You should see that notice whenever you use Google (or certainly at frequent intervals) unless there's a cookie on your computer indicating that you've already read and accepted the notice. If, like me, you delete all of your cookies daily, it means that you'll often encounter that message.

Simply scroll down to the bottom of it to find the 'Accept' button and then continue as normal.

BC just in passing how do I delete my browsing history ?

Hey dja remember last week, a well used old roue asking how to delete browsing history from his phone ? Mr AOG I think- I always wondered if he were a dark horse ....grey haired old gent - as humble as pie [yes sir, no sir] but underneath that exterior lurks - a MONSTER !

and BC are you still there - how do you delete/affect the duplex browsing list that the CIA holds ? By your deletion all that occurs is that you dont have the list but Obama's pals at the CIA does

Snowden ( no not the earl .... ) asked me to ask

[Buenchico]

PP:
As usual, you've simply left me lost!

If you. or anyone else, actually need to know how to delete your browser history, see here:

Buenchico, PP wants to know how to delete his browsing history not just from his phone or PC, but from the servers as well, so it can't be traced by the authorities.

Using Tor hides a user's IP address, so making them untraceable. (The only way that a user can be linked to a particular website is if it can be shown that there was a certain amount of data leaving one computer at exactly the same time that it was being received by another. That can only happen if both computers are already being monitored).

While the NSA constantly strives to find ways to infiltrate Tor, the US government itself (via various agencies) continues to plough millions of dollars into keeping Tor secure (largely because it relies on Tor for the transfer of its own sensitive information).

There you go, PP, you can continue your nefarious deeds without worry

[Peter Pedant]

many thanks both

[whiskeryron]

You guys obviously don't know that PPs movements & internet activities are constantly under surveillance. But do not worry tovaritch we the people are on your side.

[anotheoldgit]

Thank you all for your help except of course Peter Pedant who did nothing to help me.

[Gromit]

I get that all the time.

Scroll to the end and agree, and you can use it again.

For a nasty second their, I thought you were taking a stand against their lack of privacy.
