How to delete LSO Flash Cookies using Firefox


A new type of flash cookie is invading your system and recording your internet activities. LSO also known as Flash Cookies, are stored on the user system when you visit certain webpages and you cannot do anything about it. They function a lot like cookies and can be used to store session information. They record your browsing habits and stores them in a flash cookie so when you visit that site back, they will be able to know all your browsing history. The real problem that many users have with them is that they do not know that they exist because they are NOT stored in the same directory as the normal browser cookies.

If you do not delete them they will be stored in your system forever, tracking your every move. They never expire unless you delete them.

In Windows 7 they are located in the following location:
C:UsersComputerNameAppDataRoamingMacromedia

The following video will show you how to delete them using Firefox.
