CCUser003 Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Hi, There is a rather disturbing article in the NY Times blog today about Adobe Flash and how it sets its own cookies that are not cleared normally when you clear the browser. See: http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/12/30/a...rivacy-test/?hp and Adobe's Official Manual for removing these cookies: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewConten...8&sliceId=1 Can someone tell me whether CC Cleaner clean this by default, or should I write a custom profile? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Hi,Can someone tell me whether CC Cleaner clean this by default, or should I write a custom profile? Thanks Hello CCUser003, Thanks for bring it up. Don't be too disturbed, it is just part of browsing the Internet nowadays. CCleaner comes with the default set to clean Adobe Flash Player files. This option is at Cleaner > Applications tab > Multimedia > Adobe Flash Player. However you may not want all the files cleaned. Some users want to keep certain "flash cookies" because they contain things that improves their browsing and speeds things up. Yes, you can use the Include/Exclude options to handle these. It is up to you. Some users leave the Adobe Flash Player option on and use the Exclude option to keep certain "flash cookies" from being cleaned. Some users turn the Adobe Flash Player off and keep all the "flash cookies". The crucial information is encrypted. See these informative posts and threads by DennisD , one of our forum Moderators for more detailed information.

Moderators Nergal Posted December 31, 2008 Moderators Share Posted December 31, 2008 As Davey said It's Does it by Default, however there may be pages you want to keep the settings for for instance I hate having to reset the Volume settings for Youtube and NPR so I have added, in my exclude, the Following C:\Users\XXXX\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia\Flash Player\#SharedObjects\P5AK3G5U\l.yimg.com\*.sol to get *.sol (wildcard) Choose one of the .sol files (for instance COSMOSPrefs.sol) in the folder. save the exclude file and manually change the CCleaner.ini file to have * if the place of COSMOSPrefs. ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF. Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark) ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.
