That means it uniquely identified you to Google every day then, right?



> using a Google browser

> not wanting to be tracked

here's a hint: ad impression for unknown user is 0.01$ and for logged in user 2$. guess why Google has a browser now...


Do you mean logged into Chrome (e.g. profile sync)? or just logged into Gmail?


does not matter at all.

if you have a logged-off cookie, and the publisher can associate you with a logged-in user at a near point in time, they can charge you as logged in impression.


Always assume so with Google products.


What about Chromium?


Chromium never uses Finch except if you specify it in the command line flags.


Thanks!


Does it? Does the request actually provide enough to uniquely identify you?
