Google’s have made several privacy announcements.
Google has said that its cookies, tiny files stored on a computer when a user visits a website, will auto delete after two years. They will be deleted unless the user returns to a Google site within the two-year period, prompting a re-setting of the file’s lifespan.
The company’s cookies are used to store preference data for sites, such as default language and to track searches. All search engines and most websites store cookies on a computer.
Currently, Google’s are set to delete after 2039. So if a user visits a Google website, a cookie will be stored on their computer and will auto-delete after two years. But if the user returns to a Google service, and each time the user returns, the cookie will re-set for a further two years.
