hakia.com, the First Search Engine That Does Not Insert Cookies/
Use Tracking Mechanisms By Default To Understand What You Mean

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--hakia.com, the Web’s new meaning-based search engine, announced today that it is the first search engine that does not insert cookies or use tracking mechanisms on your computer by default to understand what you mean while you search. The announcement comes on the recent news of Google starting to address fears over privacy with its recent announced intended acquisition of DoubleClick. In the future, new hakia.com features will ask users’ explicit permission to insert cookies if there is a need for it.

According to Dr. Riza Berkan, CEO of hakia.com, “hakia.com algorithms understand the meaning of text by sentence analysis. This eliminates the need for cookies as we do not need to track user behavior to improve our algorithm. In some instances, when a user wants a personalized interface, for example, a cookie can be an added convenience. However, it is a private matter, up to the user, not up to us as a search provider.”
