SeoPapers - article Search Engine Eliminates Cookie Usage

New York, New York - (Website Hosting Directory) - May 21, 2007 - The new search engine, hakia.com, does not insert cookies or use tracking mechanisms on computers by default, to understand search meanings.

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.''

Founder of hakia, Dr. Berkan is a nuclear scientist by training with a specialization in artificial intelligence and fuzzy logic. He is the author of several articles in this area, including the book Fuzzy Systems Design Principles published by IEEE in 1997. Between 1990 and 2000, Dr. Berkan worked as a subcontractor to the US Government and handled multiple Lockheed Martin Energy Systems and Westinghouse projects involving the Y-12 Plant, Savannah River Plant, and Los Alamos National Laboratory. Dr. Berkan holds a B.S. in Physics from Hacettepe University, Turkey and an M.S. and Ph.D. in Nuclear Engineering from the University of Tennessee with a specialization in Artificial Intelligence.

In the future, the company reports that the new hakia.com features will ask users' explicit permission to insert cookies if there is a need for it.
