Macromedia Flash Privacy

Sunday, April 24th, 2005

The Macromedia Flash Player Settings panels let you make decisions about privacy, data storage on your computer, security, notifications of updates, and the use of the camera and microphone installed on your computer. Use the links in the table of contents to learn how to make these decisions.

Macromedia Flash ads can store information on ones computer even if you have cookies disabled. This is one of the reasons that Flash ads are becoming more popular.

Macromedia wrote an article on how to disable this.

To stop sites from storing information on your computer: Go to the Global Storage settings page, move the slider all the way to the left, then click the Never Ask Again checkbox.

To remove existing content stored using Flash: Go to the Web Storage settings page, then click the Delete All Sites button.
