PC Virus Doctors have been aware of the privacy issues concerning many of the cookies that have proliferated the internet for years. The latest cookies of concern are the Flash cookies that are used by Adobe Flash Player. Privacy advocates have been particularly concerned with Flash cookies because of their difficulty in removal and because some Flash cookies are "Spawning Cookies" that will restart webpages once Flash Player has been closed.
The Spawning Cookies will reload even after deletion, according to a news article by Telecompaper. The Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) Netherlands strongly rebuked such tactics and urges that Spawning Cookies not be used by companies. IAB went further, "and said re-spawning was illegal under existing EU and national data protection rules."
Adobe Flash Player 10.3 has just been released that integrates into web browsers that allows for easy Flash cookie deletion that the FTC has urged and pointed out Adobe to address the privacy concerns/issues. The new Flash player works cross platform on Windows, Mac OS, Linux and Android OS's.
A simple computer repair is to use the powerful Flash cookie deletion tool, Click&Clean, that can be integrated with CCleaner. Below is the following link to get you started in Flash privacy:
