Intel, Online Gambling, and Your (Lack Of) Privacy: ieSnare

hi everyone

i was just reading this article and was wondering if ebay uses the flash cookies mpsnare.iesnare

some ppl have mixed experiences and are left in question about some of their difficulties with linked accounts and should we be concerned with this particular malevolence

It does show in this article the following text for permanent removal of some of these flash cookies whether they are related to ebay or not, be worth see what ones ebay insists on you having on your pc.

(Adobe has provided a mechanism by which one can prevent their machine from being tracked in this fashion: the Flash Player Settings Manager.
Adobe - Flash Player : Settings Manager
The Flash app on this page controls the global and per-site permissions for the storage of Shared Objects (i.e. the tracking cookies described above), access to your Microphone and Webcam, and more. The instructions provided for each "tab" are fairly straightforward and comprehensive but, to solve this particular issue:
Go to Adobe - Flash Player : Settings Manager - Global Storage Settings Panel
Drag the slider on this panel down to "None".
You will now be prompted whenever a site wants to store Flash data. You can allow or deny that site, and optionally choose to never be asked again.
Go to Adobe - Flash Player : Settings Manager - Website Storage Settings panel
If you want to eliminate ieSnare tracking only, select "mpsnare.iesnare.com" in the list and click "Delete website".
If you want to delete ALL Shared Objects from your system, click "Delete all sites". Note that plenty of Flash games and LEGITIMATE APPS store their save game progress or settings here, so you may be wiping out more than you intended.
As far as I'm aware, these settings govern both Flash content accessed in your browser AND Flash content embedded in desktop apps like the poker clients. It's fantastic to have this degree of granular control over the data stored on your machine by Flash Player. Unfortunately, Adobe has done a piss-poor job of exposing its existence to the end user."

thanks again
