What the fuck is a "Flash Cookie"?

[Moxie]

Whenever I'm hungry for pastry I go to Disney for flash cookies or to Nicky Cakes sig for flash cakes.

The problem with Flash cookies is that many people are unaware. Also erasing regular cookies does not erase Flash cookies. Many people these days are aware of regular cookies and delete them once in a while.

Anyone thought about ADwords ? Their results are not always as relevant to the site your on, but rather to your search history.

LSO's are actually pretty annoying, especially since (proven by this thread) many people don't know about them. The addon above is pretty awesome - and necessary. Configure it to clear all your LSOs on quit/exit.

Having your browser delete your cookies will not delete your LSOs, so don't think that is enough.
