Google identifies every computer that connects to it with an implant (known as a cookie) which will not expire until 2038

Will it be even possible if I delete all my cookies?

Virtually every site uses cookies. Google does keep a record of searches...for their own use (statistics, etc). They really don't know your names, unless you specify it in the search box. If you delete your cookies, it will be gone until you visit the site that gave you the cookie. Cookies can be good and bad...they can store your login name for your email, say...so that you don't have to type it every time. If you're paranoid about it, feel free to delete them any time you want, if not (like me) I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Yes but you know you can just delete the cookies from your PC, by deleting them in the cookies folder in WINDOWS FOLDER or if using a non-microsoft browser you can go to options or preferences and delete cookies. Even yahoo has some cookies that will remain till 2037 unless you delete them. Many companies are like that. Your identity is not risk, it is just used for statistics and advertisement purposes so they price their clients properly for ad-clicks and show you the right type of ads (determined by age, where you live, etc).
