SUMMARY

This discussion reveals how Google estimates user age based on cookie data. Participants shared their age ranges as interpreted by Google, with one user identified as 18-24 and another as 25-34. The humorous aspect of the conversation included exaggerated age results, such as one user being identified as 234 years old. The consensus indicates that Google's age estimation is based on stored cookie information.
