Google places no coookies on my machine.

Umm, I guess I presumed you would know that I meant "Any time any
website wants to retrieve [one of those] cookies [it placed]".

I block all cookies. There are no cookies on my machine.

It isn't explicit, but it does outline a procedure which might
work. It does not, however, explain how to do it without exposure
to placement of cookies. I guess you didn't read what I wrote
quite carefully enough. You describe how to clean up the trash
after exposure, which I was already aware of.
