Am I being paranoid when I think that offering this "free" service is a great way to track people over even more sites and usually the most important conversion pages that don't have the usual google display ads. I don't see a big technological innovation here as it appears that mostly they are checking your cookies to see if they recognize you.

- throwaway234 12y agoEvery "free" service from Google has the end goal of serving you personalized ads. That's their business.
- chuckcode 12y agoCertainly correct. I guess it is new for me that I'm requiring my users to give their data so they can be served personalized ads.
