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.pirifor...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.
argen

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...

<_< Ref: Flash Cookies

:rolleyes: 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!

:D Cheers,
