Google's anti-privacy controversies

Google, which is yet to dispel the ongoing controversies over its privacy policy, has shortened the lifespan of its cookies. The company has disclosed that henceforth its cookies stored on the computers of site visitors will auto delete after two years. It will stay on if the user pays a visit to a Google site again. Privacy advocates had complained that storage of cookies took away the freedom of the user to decide his priorities. However, a better option for all site visitors would be to delete cookies from time to time.
