Flash Cookies Between Users (Need some Help)
 

I have 2 ebay accounts with 2 paypal accounts.

I am running one account on the admin user and one account on another user.

For the admin user I am using chrome & for the other user I am using firefox. (other user has admin permissions as well)

I can see the flash cookies in the other user account but when I log off and use chrome on the admin account I can not see the flash cookies for the admin account but I can see the other users flash cookies if I check the other users flash cookie folder.

So I did a search on my pc and found the admin flash cookies located at a folder called chrome pepper. (something name that, not sure)

But when I check the other users folders flash cookies from firefox I see that accounts flash cookies perfect.

Is it safe to use both accounts with out deleting the flash cookies since I cant find chromes cookies in sharedobjects but I can find the other users flash cookies in sharedobject?

I just dont see the flash cookies in the macromedia shared objects folder on my admin account. Why? & is it safe?

Using different window user accounts will keep both accounts separate.

Thanks for your prompt respond. So there is absolutely no way for the accounts to get link?

I have one on the main admin user and one on another user account.

I really can't see any flash cookies on admin when I use chrome but when I use firefox on admin I see the flash cookies added to sharedobjects.

I just want to remain 100% stealth.
Should I just make another user account & not use the admin one? (there for I have the admin & 2 user accounts) (or stop using chrome & just use firefox or opera?)

Try a forum search using keyword "chrome". I recall several threads where using chrome was discouraged. I personally use firefox for all my users.

Thanks I searched. I think I am just going to uninstall chrome entirely.

I have no idea where the flash cookies seem to be hiding.. "Pepper"

But I like having different browsers for both accounts.

Maybe opera on one and firefox on the other? Does it even matter?

I doubt it matters. Monzilla estimated that there is 270 million users worldwide and Opera about 170 million.

Thanks jjgold, you are really helpful. I guess no one knows where the flash cookies are in chrome... I mean I know chrome automatically deletes if you add them in clean history.. But looking for them manually ..I have no idea where they or how can they affect another user account.

Do NOT Use Chrome,,,ANYTHING, except Chrome,,,I have the EXACT Same Setup as the OP, Difference Being, I have MORE that 1 additional User accounts aside from the Administrator account, also Im Running MORE Ebay accounts than the OP,,NONE using Chrome, (Explorer, Firefox, Opera, Safari, Seamonkey, and More) I have had this setup for about 2 YEARS,,,NO Problems)

Wow I will definitely be uninstalling chrome.

Should I remove all flash cookies in general? Even the ones from my other user account?

Thanks for the help guys. This forum is truly superior.

flash cookies for chrome under the pepper folder or something.

you can also use this app in chrome to view your cookies.

you can also use this program (free) to view all the flash cookies in your user accounts. it is portable program.

hope that helps.

Thanks but I think Im going to completly remove chrome.. So many hiddent tricks just to see simple flash objects doesn't sound so good.

I've been using Chrome anyway with no problems with all my user accounts.

So I can't see where the problem is....................:peace:

Cam you see your flash cookies in shared objects?

Hi-
Sorry if this is a stupid question. I use Chrome. If I have multiple accounts on my computer, will each one retain only it's own flash cookies and not any from the other accounts?

Chrome is known to be flaky.

Chance of linking is there.
