Inside the mind of google

I recently watched this documentary film about Google. Has anyone here watched it?
It says Google has saved each and every query since 1998. Is this possible ? If yes then it implies Google knows everything about us.

I have not seen it but I am pretty sure Google does keep all of the search data from that far back. They have a lot of servers and they can store a LOT of information.

Google tracks everything. When I searched about something yesterday on google, I found some sites I clicked on and moved on. Later on another site, their google ads show the same website right in my face. They know what you are looking for and what you might buy / click on

I don't like that. Can anyone just place cookies on my computer if I browse their site(s) ???

[Lukehluke]

Yes.

Thats how affiliate marketing works. They place a cookie on your computer for whatever time frame they choose.

I think thats how it works

Cookie stuffing its called But by just surfing a website, can a site put a cookie on your computer? that would be insane though

[pinkvinny]

I don't think its possible, But If google say that they have done that, well I think its true because they will not say such statement if it is not true.

Definitely, for me we can consider Google as the biggest library in the world since it keeps track or record of everything starting from 1998 until the present.
