Definition
Incognito or private browsing opens a temporary window that usually does not save history, cookies, or form data on your device after you close it — but it does not make you anonymous online.
Real-World Example
Using a private window on a shared computer helps keep your bank login out of the next person’s history, though the bank and your ISP can still see the visit.
