I notice that, in the UK, Google.com redirects you to Google.co.uk. When on Google.co.uk there is a link to Google.com which if you allow the cookie takes you to Google.com.
The content of this cookie is as follows:

The SERPS on both Google.com and Google.co.uk look the same.
Does anyone know what this cookie is used for, other than allowing one to go to Google.com?
