Supercookies



Hi,

I am not sure if this was on this list, but it is an interesting
information:

http://www.wired.com/epicenter/2009/08/you-deleted-your-cookies-think-again/
it seems cookies could be "respawned"...

And there is a plugin to remove this LSO's:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6623

You need to set Flash directory (autodetection does not always work):
- Windows: %APPDATA%\Macromedia\Flash Player\
- Macintosh: ~/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/
- Linux/Unix: ~/.macromedia/Flash_Player/

Maybe something like that should be integraded into TorButton...
However, the question is what about Silverlight and other non-flash
plugins...

There is also a Windows tool called CCleaner (http://www.ccleaner.com/)...

bye, Matej
