Google was the first search engine to use a cookie that expires in 2038. This was at a time when federal websites were prohibited from using persistent cookies altogether

am absolutely sure that Google tracks the search queries and search results a user chooses to make, according to their words “search results more sufficient and effective”. Tools we are using and installing, or that are registering in our system without our notice are a kind of spies. Google toolbar, designed to make our searches easier, ICQ search field and many others – all of them are aiming at collecting data about our web-navigation.

Google was the first search engine to use a cookie that expires in 2038. This was at a time when federal websites were prohibited from using persistent cookies altogether. Now it’s years later, and immortal cookies are commonplace among search engines; Google set the standard because no one bothered to challenge them. This cookie places a unique ID number on your hard disk. Anytime you land on a Google page, you get a Google cookie if you don’t already have one. If you have one, they read and record your unique ID number.

Rather than have G expend vast amounts of money trying to kill click fraud, I wish they'd switch to a business model (such as fixed fee ads) that is much harder to defraud.

This topic reminds me of another article I read about whether Google was good or evil. I guess it all depends on the way you look at things.

Hope you find this interesting as well.
