Hmm... I actually had to turn mine on (and enter my password even though I was logged into gmail) in order to clear it. Of course, I was stupid and didn't check if there was any history to clear.

Now it's 'cleared' and 'paused'.

This is funny.

I'm not too worried about it, personally. Google can guess my age, location, etc? I don't have much to hide. :suspect:

For those that don't know, you can get an idea on who Google thinks you are by visiting here (while logged in):

https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb

For me, based on my search history, Google thinks I'm between the ages of 25-34, male, and interested in Games, Finance and Baked Goods (don't ask). :p

My web history was already turned off, no history for me to pull up to see.

My google says no web history, and no cookies turned on to track... Adblocker Plus ftw!
