Are you worried about Flash cookies tracking you?

There are many ways of tracking your online activity.

Any mobile can be tracked to within 200m, I have had access to the software to do this.
All price comparison sites scrape your data and store it whether you have submitted the details or not (my friend worked for one of them)
Android phones are notoriously easy to track (wonder why?)
Not to mention facebook / linkedin data.

Basically if you own technology that is attached in any way to a network of any sort, you are tracked.

For me its just a way to police the unpoliceable (is that a word?)

If you use Safari web browser then I recommend ‘ClicktoFlash’ http://clicktoflash.com/
It lets you decide which bits of Flash are active.
Very useful for blocking adverts too!

Another vote for ClicktoFlash.
Also Mac users can remove flash cookies manually by deleting the contents of the following folders :
~user/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/#SharedObjects
~user/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/macromedia.com/support/flashplayer/sys

I am a user of the Better Privacy addon and it works well. You can configure it to remove all LSO automatically when you shut down Firefox.
I would prefer this to be an inbuilt function of Firefox with the option to accept a particular LSO, the deafult being erasure.

I have only just added “Better Privacy” to my Firefox as a result of the above so I have yet to see how well it works but recently I have had ads appear on my screen unsolicited but clearly provoked by the subject of what it was I was seeking to purchase. I took my machine to an “Expert” who claims to have cleaned it out of any nasties but still the odd one appears. Also, when I log on to the net (mostly via Firefox) I see that some sites (including Firefox) seem to know more or less where my machine is located. It seems to me that it is not in the interests of the browsers to stop this as they can harvest your (and all the other) activity which they can then sell !! With so much net fraud going on these days, is there no way to stop this?

Well there goes another supposed bastion protecting consumers – selling details for profit.

“The Web of Trust add-on has been downloaded more than 140 million times and rates websites on how safe they are to visit using information provided by users.

The investigation by NDR found that WoT gathers large amounts of data on people’s browsing habits including terms they search for, sites they visit, documents they share as well as information about the devices they use and where they live.

The data is shared with marketing firms and online agencies who use it to target advertising.

NDR got hold of some information that WoT had sold to one firm and found that it included personal data, including email addresses and phone numbers, that were not obfuscated. This, it said, made it straightforward to identify individuals and tie them to browsing histories and other personal details.

WoT’s poor anonymisation practices left users “naked on the net”, said the broadcaster.”
