Default New Ad...Cleared Cookies...New Proxy...Cookies May Still Reside On Your System

Okay here is the issue, you do everything you can to appear as a unique user, each time you change your IP and clear your cookies, but some of you may not realize your Flash player stores cookies as well.

I just did a check for myself what cookies had been stored and i saw cookies from sites i've visited months ago!

If you're using FireFox you can install a plugin to remove them (Regular ways to remove cookies don't work) described here and find some more additional info on flash cookies.

I use a program that clears these as well; however, this is a great tip for anyone who did not previously know about these. I don't know if CL is looking at these specific cookies... but it can't hurt to know how to clear them.

Good info

I use ccleaner.com myself. Don't know if it clears the flash cookies or not though.

I also use ccleaner and would be interested in knowing if this works to clear everything.

True, however I've been posting for a long time and no problem. You never know, but I doubt CL spots these.

I use ccleaner like everyone else... and it does get them.
Like creztor said, I doubt CL tracks these at all - but it can't be bad to delete them anyway.

Thanks Tommy.
So the Adobe website doesn't display any cookies for you when you've used ccleaner?
