Google disable the code after being contacted by the Wall Street Journal, the daily said. The search giant also eliminates some of the instructions to the user's Safari in one of their internet page, which says the user can do via Safari privacy settings if you want to prevent tracking of privacy by Google.
"The journal was misreading the situation. We used to use Safari to provide a feature that enabled users of Google. It is important to assert that" cookies "ad that does not collect personal information," Google said in a statement.
Three other online advertising companies are also accused of using a similar code is Vibrant Media, WPP `s Media Innovation Group, and Gannett's PointRoll.
Consumer monitoring group asked the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to investigate whether Google violated the previous agreement with the FTC about piracy by placing "cookies" to avoid tracking the privacy settings in Safari browser application.
Still at the same time, practice-related Microsoft criticized Google, saying it was not the first to do Google. In a blog posting titled "Spreads without terambah", Microsoft is promoting the application of Internet Explorer 9, by highlighting the strongest privacy protection in the internet industry.
Google is under scrutiny related to violations of the privacy rights of users. Late last month, Google announced to rewrite their privacy policy, by consolidating information across users of their services.
The move was immediately welcomed concern and disappointment that Google does not offer choice to users certain privacy restrictions
