Google and Doubleclick – scary shit

So Google now have access to everything you do on the web…not just search.

To paint the picture:

  • go to google and do a search, google drop a cookie on your box, almost forever
  • google now track every search you ever do on your pc
  • if you login to one of their services they will track your search history almost forever
  • whenever you land on a site that has a doubleclick banner on it you get a doubleclick cookie
  • doubleclick will now track whenever you come into the network of sites with their banner on, basicaly most of the web

Now google and Doubleclick are together, maybe better just to have one cookie – make life easier?
