In private browser mode, your browsing history, cookies, site data and information entered in forms will not be saved on your device. No activity or history will show after you've exited private browsing mode.
Using a private browser can be helpful at times, to troubleshoot if your browser is having an issue with a website or not. A technician may ask you to try opening your browser in Incognito/InPrivate mode so that we can test if your browser is having an issue with a website that you are trying to access but having problems doing so.
