Flash player privacy

If you visit sites which use Flash, your browser usually plays the Flash movie with a program called a plugin.

The Flash player plugin retains privacy data for sites you have visited (and entered details eg online forms). Clearing your browser cache and cookies does not remove this information.

If you visit:

you can see what sites have stored info in your Flash player (and delete them)
