Well, first off, I get login failed as the title of the page. Secondly, its telling me that either I'm not logged in, or I'm (my browser) isnt accepting cookies properly, and holding a login.
Just counted 37 instances of the word 'cookie'.
So, maybe you are logged in.
But surely, google's mediabot isn't logged. And thats why the ads are (were) about cookies.
And, as a side note, looks like they dropped google and are using ads by tribalfusion.com instead (upper right corner - the only adverts I see)
Hope this sheds some light for you.
I beg the differ - I think their programming is top notch in my experience, and even has definately gotten better.
