G-Zapper
Reveals the Mysterious Google Cookie
Trenton,
NJ -- August 2006 -- ksoft’s G-Zapper is
a free tool to clean the Google cookie installed on your
PC, for Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and
Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP.
Google has become the most popular search engine of choice
for Internet users. However, as they pour out their inner-most
thoughts in the form of search terms, many users do not
realize the privacy aspects at stake.
Google
has a fairly accurate system for displaying contextual
advertisements. They are also beginning to adapt their
search results to users’ history. In the process,
they are likely collecting and storing search terms used
on a daily basis. While this, of itself, may not seem alarming,
the fact that the data may be tied directly to your PC
via a tiny cookie and unique identifier is a reason for
caution. To solve this concern, ksoft has released a free
tool, G-Zapper.
G-Zapper locates the Google cookie installed on your PC,
displays the unique identifier used to track your searches,
and displays the date the cookie was first installed, giving
you a clear picture of just how long your search terms
may have been tracked.

By using the cleaning feature of G-Zapper, users may delete
the Google cookie, in which case a new Google cookie will
be created upon the next visit to the search engine. This
breaks the chain of relating your previous searches to
new ones. Users may also opt to block the Google cookie
entirely.
For
users who utilize Google’s services regularly,
which may require the cookie, G-Zapper’s delete feature
is ideal. It removes the cookie which obscures your unique
identifier, yet allows a new cookie to be created. Users
may then continue to access Google’s services and
still enjoy a degree of privacy when searching.
G-Zapper Free Edition is available for unlimited personal
use and may be downloaded by the public at http://www.dummysoftware.com/gzapper.html
