Just now when I logged in I got a new "Google AdSenseTM Online Standard Terms and Conditions" page from AdSense

I think you should cover the fact that not just YOUR site is sending Cookies to them, but also 3rd Party sites like Google. I'd recommend to extend your language accordingly.
I guess this is where the privacy advocats actually are concerned. YOU probably can not create a set of data that exactly tracks individual users. Google can (and does).
Much smarter to give a standard policy to copy and paste... then G can bot every adsense site and see if it's there in full.
p/g
Me too it is gone. And I didn't accept it yet.
WiseWebDude - I'm kind of slow but is that your complete policy? I was envisioning pages of hard to read and understand legal type terms. If that is all that is needed I don't see any big problem or concern other than if it has to be linked to each page. Thanks

Oh come on. A general overall duck out? At least you oculd provide the "bare minimum policy requirements" that are acceptable to Google in order to pass mustard and not be penalized later, or does G really get it's jollys pouncing on unsuspecting webmasters who thought they WERE doing things right. Especially for those who do not currently have ANY policy posted (never used cookies ourselves, don't even know how to and never wanted to) and are starting from scratch. Is it safe to say then that what Google displays themselves is totally sufficient for us or do we need to go above and beyond in originality? BTW, isn't mentioning the fact that some links displayed by Adsense may contain 'whatever' violate the part of the TOS about NOT drawing attention to the ads in any way?

Won't find me practising
What I'm preaching
Won't find me
Making no sacrifice
But I can get you a pocketful of miracles
If you promise to be good
Try to be nice
God will take
Good care of you
Just do as I say,
Don't do as I do

Why doesn't the corner of every adsense ad have a link to Google's privacy policy?

Where is Google's privacy policy relevant to adsense ?
Dito for the one relevant to analytics ?
That way I can link to them and be done with it.
