1. I use separate windows user logins.
2. Because I believe anything worth doing is worth over-doing.
3. Personally, I disagree with retaining flash cookies. I never let them in at all.
4. I am not certain that there are any cookies that cross browser or user account boundaries. To be clear though, I strongly suspect that it is happening.
5. No. I don't think that at all. I think that retaining regular cookies makes a difference. At the same time, I think that even allowing a flash cookie in is a big mistake. Here's an idea: set aside 12 hours of your time. Write down a list of questions about flash cookies. Spend the rest of those 12 hours learning as much as you can about flash cookies. Then take the rest of the day off. The following day, after your brain has processed some data, assess what you learned. Try to explain to another person exactly what a flash cookie is, what it's for, where they are stored, how to remove them, and anything else you managed to dig up. Then make a list of all the questions you didn't get answers to. On a separate piece of paper, write down all the questions you NOW have that you didn't start out with. Then, let us know if you will continue to retain your flash cookies.
