Next they should look at blocking Flash cookies.

To explain, there is a feature in Adobe Flash that is like a “cookie backup”, so if you delete the cookie in your browser, all the data is maintained in the invisible Flash cookie, and as soon as your browser cookie is remade, it is loaded with all the old data, with you none the wiser.

Fortunately, at this website, Adobe provides a Flash cookie manager. While this looks like a picture, it is actually a dynamic control panel, called “Website Storage Settings panel.”

It displays what Flash cookies are on your system, and allows you to manipulate them in several ways, including deleting them. Since they are the backup, it is probably best to delete them before you delete your browser cookies in the ordinary way.

Go get Better Privacy ^ for clearing out those cookies.

I have it set to clear all when I close FF. No problems with any flash or youtube-type vids. Great add-on!
