Now, there’s a first world dilemma!!
Eat the cookie. Your weekly virus-scanning
regimen (you do scan your hard drive, right?)
will let you delete all the cookies you have.
If not, download Spy-Bot and use it.

It seems Adobe flash is prompting you. You did NOT get rid of adobe flash. You will get a blank section if flash is really gone.

Be glad they’re asking!

I use Flash but have settings adjusted so that permission is always needed; otherwise Flash would activate everywhere an ad appeared, and slow down the computer. (It doesn’t even quit when I close the browser.)

The info they’re asking to store is a cookie, no? Set your browser to delete cookies when it closes. Or just do it manually when you are done viewing the video.

You might want to try Ghostery too, see if that helps.

Many many sites now use HTML5 for video/animation, so you might be pleasantly surprised. If you remove flash completely, most sites ought to default over to HTML5, and you will still get the video clip.

If you’re getting that popup you still have Flash, might as well hit Allow.

Different subject:

I don't want to steal the thread but I stopped all cookies and it really slowed down things. When I allow cookies I can get 2000 cookies and a trojan in a couple hours. Are there any anti-viurs programs that stop thing at the web server so I can run my slow Centurylink a bit faster? I am contemplating going back to dial up as slow as they are.

If you don’t allow it, you won’t get the video from that source, simple as that. If you really want to watch the video, but don’t want the cookie, you can accept the cookie, watch the video, then go to your browser’s cookie settings and delete the cookie afterwards.

Would appreciate some help on how to view the clip without getting Adobe Adware on my machine

Make a note of the title or keywords and then search for it on YouTube. These videos often get posted there. They may not last long and get pulled due to copyright concerns but that action by YT can be sluggish and you could get to see it.
