You can turn of "Location History" and "Web & App History", for your google account from https://myaccount.google.com/data-and-personalization

Before you deactivate them, I suggest looking through the data Google has saved in them for a while so you grok the full scale of how horrible those settings truly are.

Jeez, that is truly terrifying. I hate Google even more now.

I can see my history years back. It seems that I cannot delete it just "pause" it? Seriously?

EDIT: Found it, it was just hidden several layers down.

Darn you, now I had to go through the same process. The page to delete the data was not obvious to locate - scary and sad.
