Re: Why does a Flash Cookie from wildlifecontrolexperts.com keep getting set on my machine?

FYI, go to the evercookie site and you'll get one from samy.pl. I tested
this in Chrome and the cookie manager there seems to integrate the Flash
cookies, so when you delete the samy.pl root it all goes away. They show
up as "Local Storage" and you can't view the contents, but you can remove
them.

... but I would sure love to know what keeps setting it.
In the Firefox Tools menu: BetterPrivacy; in "Options & Help" check the
"Notify if new LSO is stored" checkbox.
(LSOs sometimes are set when the page is closed....)


Good night, Nurse Agnes! They never stop:
