If you use Gmail, you can take a look at your Google Web History at any time. Google keeps a running history of a Gmail user's search queries when they are logged into Gmail or any Google Account. This information is stored on Google's servers and is tracked regardless of what browser or computer you use. The search engine giant uses the information it gathers about search habits to personalize future search results. Google is not the only Internet company keeping track of online activity. Several companies sell products with the claim of being capable of tracking a Web user's digital fingerprints, according to Peter Eckersley of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, an Internet privacy advocate.
