Blah... that page is quite stupid... they talk a lot about setting preferences without a cookie...

In fact, you can set preferences without any sort of cookie at all.

That may be true, but it's very inconvenient. Using the bookmark every time you want to search? And what if you want to follow someone else's link to a Google search? The cookie ensures that your preferences always apply.

As a PHP developer, I know that cookies are a very useful thing.

Silly question, why not just set the ID number to a space or some nil character, if the value is not a generated one how are they supposed to track you?

And yes, I have tried it, as long as there is "something" in the pref id section it will still work perfectly fine and google will not change it to a new id...A space or a single 0 would work.
