Sneaky-ass Flash Player non-private cookies

Think your privacy settings on your browser are enough to protect you from being snooped, tracked, or profiled? Think again. Apparently Adobe’s Flash plugin has its own set of places for things like cookies and other potentially personalized content. These are not removed when you empty the cache, and they are not normal browser cookies. For every browser you use, visit the Flash Player Settings page to set your security level to something better than “Hi internet, here’s my damn wallet, ID, money, and my monthly banking records”.
