When logged into Google Webmaster Tools, and using a particular search
term, my site is in position 3 in Google. If I log out of Tools then
use the same search term, it drops to position 4.

Can anyone please explain this? Its not a huge issue, as I am of
course pleased with position 3 or 4, but I really am interested as to
why being logged into Tools should effect the Google positioning.

I can consistantly reproduce this effect, for other search terms.

Thanks

It does seem like Google had initiated a major update!

Personalization.

You've probably visited your site while logged in and Google remembers that you like that site so it gives it a boost in the rankings.
