"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.
