You have until March 1st to do this.

If you want to keep Google from combining your Web History with the data they have gathered about you in their other products, such as YouTube or Google Plus, you may want to remove all items from your Web History and stop your Web History from being recorded in the future.

Hmmmm - I tried this but when I attempted to go to the https://google.com/history screen it reverted to http://google.co.uk, which is a bit of a pain. I tried three times as I thought I might have made a typo in the original attempt, but it seems that this is a genuine redirection.

Try google.co.uk/history then. :) It worked for me.

Thanks for the info, Shane.  Done and done.
The heavens convince me there is no god.

Religion is an insult to human dignity. Without it you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.--Steven Weinberg

Religion can never reform mankind because religion is slavery--Robert G. Ingersoll

I don't know why people compare George Carlin to God. He's great and all, but he's no George Carlin.-Anon.

After a lot of Googling I found that my Google History had never been activated and was empty!
