I don't understand point 4. Why restore the redundant HTTP cookie?

• jgrahamc 16y ago
  So that you can track the user for as long as possible. Very useful if you are running an ad network.

    But it's unnecessary since you already set the Flash cookie.

      In case user deletes that flash cookie, but forgets to clean the http one!

        Ah, I see now! Really tricky...

        And also the convenience of having the user/session info in HTTP headers where all sorts of other code/frameworks expect it -- instead of only where Flash in-page objects can see it.
