Ask.com addresses search privacy with ‘AskEraser’11th December 2007 11:09 pm ASK.com Ask.com today announced the launch of AskEraser(TM), the first product to give consumers privacy control over their online searches.
When enabled by the user, AskEraser completely deletes all future search queries and associated cookie information from Ask.com servers, including IP address, User ID, Session ID, and the complete text of their queries. An AskEraser link is featured prominently in the upper right corner of the Ask.com homepage and search results pages — clearly and constantly indicating to the user that their search activity will be ‘erased’ from Ask.com servers.
