More information about DuckDuckGo If you aren't familiar with DuckDuckGo, here's some basic information about it from the: DuckDuckGo does not collect or share personal information. That is our privacy policy in a nutshell. The rest of this page tries to explain why you should care. DuckDuckGo prevents search leakage by default. Instead, when you click on a link on our site, we route (redirect) that request in such a way so that it does not send your search terms to other sites. The other sites will still know that you visited them, but they will not know what search you entered beforehand.DuckDuckGo takes the approach to not collect any personal information. The decisions of whether and how to comply with law enforcement requests, whether and how to anonymize data, and how to best protect your information from hackers are out of our hands.
Your search history is safe with us because it cannot be tied to you in any way. At DuckDuckGo, no cookies are used by default. If you have changed any settings, then cookies are used to store those changes. However, in that case, they are not stored in a personally identifiable way. For example, the large size setting is stored as 's=l'; no unique identifier is in there.
Furthermore, if you prefer not to use cookies to store settings, you can use URL parameters instead. I've used DuckDuckGo as my default search engine for quite a long time, and it works very well for me. If you haven't used DuckDuckGo, I strongly suggest you give it a try.
