Getting Rid of Nasty Flash Cookies on Linux

“According to Wikipedia, Flash cookies are readable only by
their originating sites, and are not shared across domains. And yet

possible for that data to be shared with other sites, and then they
know who you are. We’re all familiar with the tired old “Oh we
don’t collect personal data on purpose, and even when it’s

because “trust but verify” is what wise people do.”
