File this one under tech giants behaving badly<\/em>: Last week, the Associated Press detailed<\/a> how Google tracks the whereabouts of users even when they’ve disabled the “Location History” setting on mobile devices. While Google’s support page had claimed that “the places you go are no longer stored” when Location History is off, the company in fact continues storing snapshots of your location when you open Google Maps, check for weather updates on Android devices, or even search the web in some cases. Turning off tracking in those instances requires you to “pause” a separate setting called “Web & App Activity.”<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n
