The deal ends an FTC probe into allegations that Google used computer code known as “cookies” to trick the Safari browser on iPhones and iPads so the Internet search company could monitor users who had blocked such tracking.
Google will also have to disable the tracking cookies that ended up on consumers’ computers, despite the company’s assurances it was not placing cookies.
While it was the largest penalty the FTC has ever placed on a company for violating a Commission order, the fine is a drop in the bucket for a company that chalked up revenues of $12.21 billion in the second quarter. But revelations of the cookie embarrassed the search engine company.

No surprise hear. Google is not just a search engine, its a data base. If you have used google you are in that data base. They have photographed every square mile of earth, the moon and mars. They have made millions of phones that track millions of users, and they plan to make a DNA/biometric data base. I would advise you not to trust google, if you do not trust google then you should not use google. Change your homepage right now.
