In summary, Google determines your age by considering the information in your account, search history, and online behavior. However, this estimation may not always be accurate due to factors such as incomplete information and online activity. Providing your age allows Google to personalize content and comply with age restrictions for certain services. You can change your age in your account settings, but it may not immediately reflect in Google's estimation. Aside from personalization and age restrictions, Google's age estimation may also be used for analytics and market research.
