Cookies are soon to be a thing of the past; Google wants to play in the Sandbox instead. It might sound rather twee, but this marks a seismic shift in the online ecosystem that will affect us all.

I was one of these people until I started looking into how Google makes money... Given all this is rather technical I can't expect most people to understand this.

I don't understand many things like food safety and somehow if I buy stuff in the market I don't get poisoned, so it can be done.

I was too.

Sadly, I gave away to them a lot of stuff about me. They know too much.
