Home Forums Networks & Cross-Platform Networking Private window does not hide identity?

The "private" in private browsing is more to keep others who might use your browser or computer from knowing where you have been. As the earlier post stated, cookies, history, etc. are deleted. Nothing seems to be saved to the computer.

This is completely different from a web site recognizing you while you are browsing. It does not seem to be that type of "private". In fact, even with private browsing, you may want a cookie to exist during your browsing session. It just won't be there when you leave private browsing.
