aha

any time you delete your cookies

i never delete my cookies

but do you really think they stop tracking you just because they don't show you the results of the tracking?

no, but the point was if we saw these "generic results"

One of the reasons I asked the question is because my results don't appear to be 'personalized' *ever* because there's no difference between logged in and logged out and cookies and no cookies so IMO it looks like they're either all personalized or they're not personalized at all, and I wonder which it is? I cannot prove turning personalization off works, because my results are the same either way and for there to be personalization / no personalization there would have to be a change in what I see wouldn't there? If the results are always the same something is not working, IMO...

I think your results are not personalized at all,
otherwise you could tell for certain at first glance!
(try and find a computer of someone who doesnt know about all this, and do a search)

not all google accounts give personalized results
