People who go two years between Google searches on a given browser will have their old queries de-linked from their new ones. Google users who do not occasionally destroy their cookies will continue to have their entire search history recorded for posterity and potential subpoenas. Google users who sign up for an account and don’t know to UNCLICK the Web History box will have almost all of their Web usage recorded by Google.


You can choose to “delete web history”. My point is that such action will indeed delete your history from the servers it is stored on. But, it will not delete your info from the log files, which are typically archived to tape and stored offline. Confirm with Google if you doubt me.

Google takes no information on the websites which you browse, it can only see what you are searching for, which is anonymous anyway! Please stop infecting the internet with your ignorant ramblings. Kind regards, H.C. This is simply not true.
