What are Flash Cookies or Local Shared Objects (LSO)?


--- Quote ---Local Shared Objects (LSO), commonly called flash cookies, are collections of cookie-like data stored as a file on a user's computer. LSOs are used by all versions of Adobe Flash Player and Version 6 and above of Macromedia's now obsolete Flash MX Player.

Computer Hope Admin:
I've always recommend just using Adobe's Settings Manager, which you listed in the last link for dealing with cookies and viewing privacy settings in Adobe Flash. But Still a very well written post. We may want to put it into a FAQ since many may miss it in the News section.
