   I have to opine here that TTBOMK the only thing that google installs is a   
   cookie, and that they track you and your likes and dislikes from that,   
   probably your IP address, and the signature that your browser presents to   
   any server on the other end.   
      
   That signature uses all sorts of things, including installed fonts, which   
   can give your computer a fairly good individual signature.   
      
   The days of privacy are fading fast my friend.
