The message is a note on data protection . Google would like to inform you which data is saved when you search for something . This is summarized in the Google data protection declaration.
To read the privacy policy, click on " View ". The most important points will now be described to you:

  • Usage data that is processed when using Google services
  • Purposes of data processing
  • More about the merging of data
  • Use of user data to improve user-friendliness (menu to expand)

How can I switch off the data protection notice permanently?

You can easily hide the data protection notice using " View " and " I agree ". The latter ensures that you accept Google's data protection / usage conditions. Otherwise, however, the message cannot be switched off permanently.
However, more often than not, the message will come back up every time you open Google. The problem is usually that some browsers automatically delete the cookies when you close them - and without the corresponding cookie, the browser does not remember that you have already agreed to the data protection notice. The message will appear again the next time you open the browser. There are two ways to prevent this :

  1. You log in with your Google account . Your privacy preferences will be saved on your Google Account . So if you are always logged in when using Google , this message will no longer appear. Provided you 've closed them once .
  2. Change your browser settings . You should prevent the cookies from being automatically deleted when you close the browser . If the Google cookie persists after closing, the data protection message will no longer appear.

How can I adapt the data processing?

If you click on " More options " instead of " Agree " in the data protection notice , you can adapt the data protection settings to your wishes. These settings can be adjusted at any time at myaccount.google.com . At least as long as you are logged in. These include:

  • Customize search Customize
    whether your search activity within the browser should affect search results.
  • Advertising settings
    Adjustment of the type of advertising to be displayed.
  • Customize YouTube
    Adjustment of whether YouTube search queries and videos played through them should affect your YouTube usage.
  • Browser-related settings
    Adjustment of the use of cookies and data transfer, e.g. B. to services such as Google Analytics. Google Analytics is used to measure the traffic to a website.
