schneier writes about how evil the flash cookies are, but he doesn't mention how to deactivate them. I did it (http://giu.me/s/ngaf8k http://giu.me/s/ngaf8k), and that's how it went down (note: some flash applications won't work anymore after you deactivate the flash cookies!): first, go to the Website Storage Settings Panel by following this link: http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager07.html http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplay.... while there, hit the delete all cookies button. next step, visit the Global Storage Settings Panel located at http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager03.html http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplay.... deselect the first option (the one that permits third parties to save data on your computer). finally, excuse me that I didn't use the exact english description of each option. as you may guess, my settings are displayed in another language than the english one (it's the german one, to be exact :).
