Has everything to do with routing... or rather Coditel's IP domain

Google relies on IP-source identification to decide whether you'll be
auto-redirected to google.com, google.FR, google.BE

In our case, Coditel's domain is somewhere in .be, so we're identified
as .be users... so it's "off to google.be you go"

I explained the use of google-cookies to bypass that.

Browser language selection made abso-f-ing-lutely no difference.
