Cookies are the most common way websites track you and often cause a good deal of clutter on your system. I always inform customers to perform a regular cleaning of cookies and temporary internet files in their browser. Find out more about how cookies work , and how to remove them.
Today I found a great article from a technology blog called Cybernews that informs people of a specific type of cookie that sticks around even after doing thorough cleaning of cookies. They're called flash-cookies. You may have heard the term "flash" mentioned before. Basically, anytime you see animated or interactive portion of a website, that's flash hard at work. Many of these sites use flash-cookies providing them a sure fire way to keep their cookies in your browser and track your browsing progress.
