Google thinks that I'm a bit younger than I really am. It did get my gender and several interests correct.

They think I am younger than I am, and that I am a man. Big Grin

Thanks for that. I now opted out and am passing on this tip for my clients to do the same (if they wish).

That's very cool. It thinks I'm a lot older than I am. I guess I'm a fuddy duddy about my desires.

So, this is the new version of "Tivo Thinks I'm gay".

For me. Google thinks I'm an ancient geek.

"...that Google has associated with your cookie."

Something about that sentence just sounds perverted.

They have my gender and location right. I edited my prefs and left it in place. May be I can avoid the Pee Cee virus protection pop up that way.
