So, this brought evercookies to my attention. I noticed that even when

'cause it couldn't stay away."
This makes me suspect that google is using something like an
evercookie. I have self-destructing cookies plugin, delete lso cookies,
have html5 storage turned off, keep the cache cleared, and yet, there
it is, while I'm offline.
Are you using gmail?
Are you using google dns? (8.8.8.8)
Are you using google apps? chrome? earth? streetview? drive? sky?
Do you use their repository? dl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub?
Do you sync an android?
It's easy to give someone/something permission w/o realizing it.
Do you use the Alphabet? :-)
This last one's a joke but it does reveal the attitude of their exec's
and how ingrained they want to be in our lives.
This is why I try to having nothing to do with google for anything for
reasons Tim has so eloquently described.
