I believe there were 2 settled lawsuits with Google that they have multiple locations tracking settings for different products, and turning one off did not turn the others off. So I think you can turn all tracking off, but it was not clear to consumers that you've actually done the thing you wanted. There was a CA lawsuit and an everyone-else lawsuit [2]. I don't know if Google's settings have changed since these lawsuits, but I think as part of the settlement they would have to do something about it.
