How much of this new policy is indeed intended to protect the privacy of users - as opposed to answering criticism regarding Googles practices - is still open to discussion."After listening to feedback from our users and from privacy advocates, we've concluded that it would be a good thing for privacy to significantly shorten the lifetime of our cookies — as long as we could find a way to do so without artificially forcing users to re-enter their basic preferences at arbitrary points in time. And this is why we’re announcing a new cookie policy." (Peter Fleischer, Google Blog, 7/16/07)
