In March of this year, Google said it will make anonymous search server logs after 18 – 24 months. Well today Google has updated that retention period again to just 18 months.
Google also posted this info about their cookies: "We are considering the Working Party's concerns regarding cookie expiration periods, and we are exploring ways to redesign cookies and to reduce their expiration without artificially forcing users to re-enter basic preferences such as language preference. We plan to make an announcement about privacy improvements for our cookies in the coming months."
