Almost a month ago, on December 10th, 2007 Ask.com was the first major search engine to offer consumers, visitors and users the right to privacy. Unlike Yahoo, Google and MSN who mine consumer data, maintain records of each user and place intrusive "cookies," on the users PCs, the search engine directory known for responding to user queries has a nifty search engine function called AskEraser.

A Search Engine Alternative to Privacy
Ask.com’s new fangled AskEraser is merely the search engine alternative to maintain online consumer privacy.



How it works:

After a user conducts a search query at Ask.com, a feature located in the top-right corner of the web page presents consumers with the choice to "Turn on AskEraser" or simply cancel.

Look out Google, Ask.com is giving American consumers what they want, a right to maintain their online privacy.
