Bing: always personalized

[kevs1]

Like most I mostly use Google, but I have a question about Bing.

Every search, it says at the bottom my results are personalized.

I had once this issue with Google, and I chose don't personalize, or even better with Google now you have to log in. So I don't log in.

With Bing, no matter what I do, I go in circles, and it always says "results personalized" at the bottom. And I'm never logged in. And I think I choose not to personalize, but maybe I can't find the save button? Lost. I don't know. lost. Thanks.

And today on iphone, I saw slider to turn off personalization, but it would not work, would not slide off.

Have you ever heard of internet CACHE?

When I click on "Learn More" it takes me to a page that explains search history. Nothing there about opting out.

I assume the personalization is based on your search history, location and who knows what else.

You can probably beat it by using a "Private Window" in the Opera browser with the built-in VPN "On".

Thanks guys. I am using private window and that has no effect.

Reality is, that for this specific project, I cannot use a VPN or Tor, etc, this project requires to use search engines in their native space, without going beyond a private window, and with search history off. So I'm stuck.

It's just nutty that there is no intuitive way to get it off.

Yes clear your cookies then try!

Clearing cookies does not help. Played around with that, and finally still personalized. Are you testing this? Curious if anyone can conquer this.

I usually close the tab when Bing appears.
