Eaker !!
Uh-oh...
You have to (presumably) decide on your own to sign up for this.
Google uses a cookie that expires sometime around 2039 or so. Of course, if you get rid of that cookie each day and you don't have a static IP address then google doesn't know who you are from day to day (unless you signup for their service).
IOW, "fears are overblown", at least for semi-savvy searchers.
Google's AdWords lets you bid on specific search terms, so they and all other search engine companies keep a very close tab on what's being searched for and what those terms are worth to advertisers. They probably also know how well those convert. I.e., if someone clicks on a widget ad, how likely are they to then buy widgets off the site the ad takes them to.

This isn't news. Google's had a GUID in their cookies since they launched, and anyone who doesn't know about that doesn't read terms of service very closely.
If you go to imilly.com, there's a Javascript code you can run from your browser to anonymize your ID, making Google privacy-safe.
LOL.......This will be an ugly thread.......:o)
He had "the look" down pat until he put on the Chukka boots....:))
Dixon's got it right.
I try to avoid using google and use AlltheWeb.com a lot. It gives me excellent results, and needs one less keystroke than google if looking up photos, etc.
Do a search on Google for "Pixyland Pixy pr0n".
