Listen, we’re not here to judge. We’ve all looked up some weird things online. And here at the Daily Star, we operate a firm ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ policy when it comes to our readers’ search history with good reason.
But Google doesn’t—in fact, the tech giant stores extensive data on your YouTube and Google search history on your account even if you delete it from your Internet browser, unless you make a key settings change.
This means there’s still a record of that time you looked up questionable videos involving lawnmowers or asked Google for instructions on how to shave your own you-know-what.
