Cookies That Just Don't Go Away

Flash cookies are becoming the subject of a number of federal lawsuits against media and technology companies. These cookies are different from normal HTML cookies in that they are not cleared via the browser preferences, so a lot of users may be tracked without their knowing. Flash cookies are stored in a separate directory from normal cookies. Flash cookies can even be used to resurrect HTML cookies that have been deleted from a users computer.
