How can you prevent Flash-spawned Zombie cookies and still let Flash player save content locally to your hard-drive?
-
I know you can go to Macromedia's site to adjust your Flash web settings and prevent all content, but I have found that preventing all content from being locally stored can cause performance issues.

Answer:
I use a browser addon. For Firefox - Better Privacy: http://netticat.ath.cx/BetterPrivacy/BetterPrivacy.htm Chrome: Click and Clean: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ghgabhipcejejjmhhchfonmamedcbeod All flash content seems to work fine, cleans cookies on close. Can whitelist for any that you want to retain.
