You may want to go into the Google Ads Preferences Manager, and click the link so that you may choose to opt out of the DoubleClick snooping at any time by using DoubleClick’s opt-out cookie... Here's how: From Google search page, click "<em>2010 - Privacy</em>" link at bottom of page, then "Google’s Privacy Policy" link on next page, then scroll down to the line that ends; <blockquote>"you may choose to opt out of the DoubleClick cookie at any time by using DoubleClick’s opt-out cookie."</blockquote> Imagine that... If EVERYONE'S Internet and "World Wide Web" usage was able to be constantly monitored and tracked 24 hrs/day... Why, no one would be able to trust the Government if that WAS the case, eh? That’ll be Google’s “DoubleClick advertising cookie on AdSense partner sites and certain Google services to help advertisers and publishers serve and manage ads across the web.” Bless ‘em.

I'm sticking with firefox. Google's been starting to creep me out these days. It's like a huge, smiling, dribbling zombie staggering about repeating the mantra "I'm not evil, I'm nice!". Ahem, I even have ambitions to ditch my gmail address one day too... That is simply jaw-droppingly dumb. I’m sticking with firefox. Google’s been starting to creep me out these days.
