Once a week, or once a month, delete all Google cookies.

The way to do this is to search your cookies (easy in Firefox), for “utma”. That is not just Google’s cookies, but any other website that uses Google’s tools, with of course, the information going back to Google.

Then, for the ‘advanced’ paranoia control, Adobe provides what are called “flash cookies”, that use flash to backup cookie information, so if a cookie is deleted, all its data is automatically restored.

This is an Adobe page that shows you the flash cookies you currently have on your computer. The image on your screen is *not* a picture, but a control panel. If there is a flash cookie for some website you want to purge, delete it here *first*, then delete their cookie in your browser.

I don’t really care if they have my information.

What I am arguing for is each time my information transfers from my machine to another, that is a taxable event. Then from another machine to the next, that is a taxable event. Whoever owns the machine that receives my information must pay my income tax. If enough machines receive my information, I may end up paying no income tax at all. The feds might even get a surplus in tax payments.

I get to know who has my information, because they have to report the taxable event. If you don’t want to pay tax - don’t collect my information.
