Local Shared Objects (LSO) - Flash Cookies

Local Shared Objects (LSO), commonly called flash cookies, are collections of cookie-like data stored as a file on a user's computer. LSOs are used by all versions of Adobe Flash Player and Version 6 and above of Macromedia's now-obsolete Flash MX Player.

Privacy concerns

LSOs can be used by web sites to collect information on how people navigate those web sites even if people believe they have restricted the data collection. More than half of the internet’s top websites use LSOs to track users and store information about them. There is relatively little public awareness of LSOs, and they can usually not be deleted by the cookie privacy controls in a web browser. This may lead a web user to believe a computer is cleared of tracking objects, when it is not.

Ma ci sono altri elementi, più subdoli, nascosti, ben organizzati, che registrano ogni vostra mossa online senza dire una parola. Sono i Flash cookies: prendono nota di ogni movimento o preferenza, anche quando la navigazione è in incognito e sono cross-browser.
