It won't collect anything you don't give it.  Google search works fine
with no Google account, no scripts, no cookies, and no referrers.

Doesn't it store cookies? Then I was in different impression.


If you let it. But what do you think is in those cookies? Your home address, phone number and birth date? Or maybe it's just a session cookie track what search terms you've entered (which they can do anyway).

Maybe they're just trying to be more user friendly by showing you previous search terms you've used to help you with similar searches.

Cookies themselves are not evil. It's how some marketers have used cookies that is evil.
