Google Will Stop Tracking User Activity as It Phases Out Third-Party Cookies
Once Google completely phases out the third-party cookies, it will not replace them with another tracking tech. Instead, the company will build a machine-learning-powered tracking system that groups people into interest groups.

How to enable guest mode in Chrome:

  1. Close all Chrome windows.
  2. Right-click (right mouse button) on the Chrome shortcut.
  3. Select Properties.
  4. In the Object field, add the "--guest" key, separated by a space.
  5. Click OK and use the shortcut to launch Chrome.

To return to your profile, close all Chrome windows and run the browser profile without the "--guest" command line parameter, or remove the parameter in the shortcut properties.
