I watched an episode of Call For Help on G4TechTV Canada. Steve Gibson was Leo Laport's quest and they discussed Macromedia Flash Player and the little know fact that Flash can store cookies on your computer. Here is a link to the show notes dealing with this issue:

Here is a link to the Adobe Website which gives one, more details on this topic and there is a tool there to manage Flash Cookies, ect.

I thought this would be considered news, since Flash is on alot of websites, and it is a good idea to become educated on this aspect about cookies within the Flash program.
