Google sets several cookies, however, if you clear them and are not logged in, then you are getting results for your browser, geographic location, language, etc., and not for you personally.

Does Google have a tool that shows you where your pages comes up in a search? I recall seeing something like that in Webmaster Tools a while ago, at least I think that's where it was, or maybe Analytics.

Hmmm, are you spamming the forum to try to improve your site's page rank?

Cookies are not the only information Google may be extracting from your browser. Are the results different between these scenarios?

Firefox logged in to Google
Firefox logged out of Google
Firefox new profile* logged out of Google
Other browsers logged in to Google
Other browsers logged out of Google

To create and switch between profiles, use the Profile Manager. See Managing Profiles.

Actually not. Results are same everytime when i search for the exact keyword that's i already included. I am facing this problem when i need to know what is my keyword ranking on google. But everytime google show me same result. Is there any others cookies that google or firefox maybe store for future reference?

Thanks

You are right. Thanks. Inside of the google search result there have a option named "web history", in this section all the cookies stored by the google. When i clean up all the cookies data and search again it's show me true result. But is there any option that could automatically delete my cookies from google.

The closest thing to automatically deleting cookies from a site is setting them to expire after every session (i.e., when you close Firefox). Right-click a page on Google.com > View Page Info. On the Permissions tab, change the "Set Cookies" permission to Allow for Session. Then on the Security tab > View Cookies then remove the existing cookies.

Hey,

Google customises search results based on a number of different things, many of my customers in the UK have this problem so I created a quick video to show them simple steps to get organic results so they can check their seo campaigns
