America.gov launches with privacy pledge as Login.gov code raises tracking questions

The Trump administration launched America.gov as a single AI-powered gateway to federal services with an explicit privacy promise, including no ad cookies or precise GPS data. But public Login.gov code, which an executive order directs GSA to use for authentication, contains a 20-year browser identifier tied to analytics events.

• America.gov does not require users to identify themselves
• Executive order directs GSA to integrate Login.gov for authentication
• Login.gov code creates a UUID cookie set to expire in 20 years
• The identifier is attached to analytics events before sign-in
