Google in cookie for dead people

We hate cookies, they track which website we visited and our browsing habits. I remember once that I was looking for Vendetta’s mask in Amazon and to my surprise some ads in a blog appears to be showing the Vendetta’s advertisement, coincident? Almost impossible because Vendetta was released years ago and I watched it last month.

Back to Google’s cookie, finally they’ve decided to renew their cookie policy that automatically expire if you don’t come back to the site for two years. Two long years, that would literally means you’re dead, or you’re in a prison or possibly boycotting everything Google, which mean the internet.

The way I look at it, they might as well extend the number of years to 10 instead of 2, it makes no difference, but then again, if you’re not up to something fishy, no worries.

On the other hand, it is cookie like these that help adsense publisher like me and you, cookies enable Google to display the right ads for a specific blog for that particular person based on his or her browsing habits. Well, cookies is not that bad after all, or so it seems?
