What’s stored in a school Google Drive account?

The academic Google Drive does some weird stuff. I let my daughter access her school's G-Suite on my work laptop once last year. For weeks afterwards whenever I tried to surf to certain websites I would automatically get redirected to the school's web logon page. Which tells me that at the very least some Google software was tracking my web usage.

I basically had to do a full reinstall of the browser to stop it. It wasn't a case where she didn't log out.

So it set a cookie that indicated that on Google properties it should redirect you to the right place to log in, not take you to the main Google login?

I mean maybe it's not as clear as it should be, and maybe it should remove that cookie if you log out (ehhh...), and it should probably be easier to get rid of all of that... but we're hardly talking the conspiracy of the decade here.
