"Incognito mode" is Google's name for the Privacy mode of the Google Chrome browser.

"Incognito mode" is Google's name for the Privacy mode of the Google Chrome browser.

From the Incognito mode, FAQ page, in Incognito mode:

  • Webpages that you open and files downloaded while you are incognito aren't recorded in your browsing and download histories.
  • All new cookies are deleted after you close all incognito windows that you've opened.
  • Changes made to your Google Chrome bookmarks and general settings while in incognito mode are always saved.


From "Obscure Facts About HTML5 LocalStorage": LocalStorage values created in "incognito" mode are isolated, and are destroyed once the private browsing session is closed.
