Nothing is recorded.
Users store a data structure in the list associated with their membership.
This data structure contains, among other things, a pointer to the content file or files as well as parameters on which episodes you watched, how long, etc.
The content is gone.
The data structure and the pointer become meaningless.
Google and others use the term "record" because the above explanation is incomprehensible to most users.
