How do you check to see if Ebay & Paypal leace a Cookie or Flash Cookie(Object)?
 

...Sorry...I meant to say "leave" instead of "leace" in my title. Or how ever it is done.

How would I go about checking either my Ebay or Paypal account to see if they have picked up on my Cookies or Flash Cookies? :confused:

And is this a good thing? To me it sounds great if Ebay/PP can't pick up on cookies, but if that is so, then there has to be another HOLE in the floor to fall through.

Thanks

Flash Objects are here...

Adobe - Flash Player : Settings Manager - Website Storage Settings panel

Removing "Flash Objects and Cookies" is not recommended, separate user accounts are recommended.

you can also install an ADD-ON from Firefox called BETTER PRIVACY..it will show you all the FLASH/LSO's or SUPER COOKIES that are left on your computer from websites...and then you can delete the ones you want..like from ebay or paypal or ?

I've never heard of super cookies? Where are these located ?? As far as im aware of its only normal cookies + flash cookies + ip we have to worry about.... Super cookies???

Beats me what a Super Cookie is...i think that is what the Add-On BETTER PRIVACY refers to Flash LSO's..trust me when i read SUPER COOKIES..All i could think of is a buddy to the giant Kool-Aid dude that busts through your wall..

Firefox for BETTER PRIVACY is good add i looking software for firefox simulating I'm using IE

Google or Wikipedia about:
Super Cookies
DOM Storage
LSO
datastore
User Agent
Browser Fingerprinting

Here is an interesting article that just appeared in NY times that addresses privacy issues and supercookies. Apparently, even anti-virus experts have problems cleaning supercookies.
