    Both do. Safe to say many Google products do, especially things like Gmail...

    technically all browsers do

    if your that paranoid about stuff like that then don't use the internet full stop, your ISP, email provider etc can log a hell of a lot more than that

    It is true. The ISP would have more information than anything.

    But your ISP doesn't tend to sell that information to advertisers unlike google :p
    Well I suppose it depends on the ISP.
    If they're going to sell my data I'd at least like a cut of the profits :p

    I will attest to this. Without permission also.

    Certain John Lewis adverts came up advertising products I had been searching (Converse and flannel shirts). There was a link below the ad that explained why I was getting those adverts. Seems Google harvest your info and pass it onto companies like John Lewis. All this from merely searching.
