Flash cookies

[argen]

Hi,

 

I came to know that there are "flash cookies", here there is an explanation: http://www.wired.com/epicenter/2009/08/you...es-think-again/

 

Then I thought, "well, I have CCleaner".

I wondered if it really deletes those cookies, and I found this thread: http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=16139

 

Reading there, seemingly CCleaner deletes such cookies.

 

I have "Adobe Flash Player" checked under "programs" and I run CCleaner frequently.

 

But then I found this page: http://www.macromedia.com/support/document..._manager06.html

 

And I could see that I had a lot of Flash cookies even from sites that I don't visit from long time ago.

 

So, my suggestion, is to add the capability to CCleaaner to also delete "Flash cookies".

 

Thanks.

Hey your right it didn't clean those...

 

I second this.

If I'm not mistaken it is relatively new that CCleaner has begun to take some of these Flash cookies out. And staff is expanding this feature, I think. So have patience...

In "Options -> Include" there should be an option to generally add *\sol without the obligation to give a path! Then all Flash Cookies will be deleted when running CCleaner!
