For example, can I keep the personalization options while performing some searches and then have everything deleted when I'm done? I'm not sure this last bit could be possible considering how many servers things are stored in, and the number of laws in place requiring data to be backed up... but it would be great. Anyway, being able to disable features in exchange for privacy seems like a good trade-off, and it ties in nicely with Alex Rudloff's post on <a href="http://www.alexrudloff.com/2007/12/06/privacy-as-a-currency/">Privacy as a Currency</a> and my take on it (<a href="http://technosailor.com/2007/12/07/la-privacidad-como-moneda-2/">here</a>).
