... for now. It's just a matter of time before analytics and tracking will move. Just like maps has moved to google.com in order for search to also get access to the current location (which is a permission I'd gladly give to maps, but not to the search engine)
- HappyTypist 9y agoYou can disable using precise locations in Google search, and Google will no longer request your location except for when there is a maps card in the result (which makes sense)
- jstoeffler 9y agoThey can do that, but it's a delicate choice: if google.com gets flagged as a "tracker domain", the google.com cookies will be deleted after 30 days of no interaction with google.com. Probably not an issue for most of the users, but for those who don't use it very often, they'd get logged out. Not sure Google wants that.
- fake-name 9y agoI think the original point here is that almost everyone interacts with google.com daily. As such, if a company with a non-add business attaches a tracking business to their existing domains, they can circumvent the deletion policies.
