Private Browsing mode (sometimes called “Incognito Mode”) is a window that you can open in where you're not logged into any websites. It's as if that window is a brand new computer, every time you open it! When you close that window, all of your history and cookies from that browsing session are immediately deleted. This is great for things like secret shopping for gifts, quickly checking on another email account, or when using a public computer.
