All I can say is sorry. Yeah, the technology is my creation although Google doesn't use my old company's technology anymore (long story). I always tried to educate users with the proper way of implementing and using IP targeting. Doesn't mean they ever listened.

- sanjayparekh 17y agoYeah, it's actually a lot more difficult than one would think. Heck back in 1999 I thought it'd be pretty easy. The Internet is pretty wily when it comes to this kind of stuff.

- neilk 17y agoI'm a bit surprised at this whole thread. I used to do some internationalization at Google, and the old policy was that cookies always trump geolocation. Maybe there's been changes. Incidentally, Accept-Language was not always respected either, but that was deliberate -- it used to be considered an unreliable signal, especially in some markets where the user's OS was often non-localized or pirated. But I've heard that in these modern times it's more indicative of real user preference.
