Adobe Flash Player is an essential plug-in for playing web videos, games and animations, but it can also be used to spy on your online activities by means of Flash cookies. Though some flash cookies are used for legitimate purpose, such as recording your high score in online games, many of them are used for tracking your online activities, which may threaten your privacy.

I had written many articles in previous posts on completely deleting and managing flash cookies, here is another simple way to delete flash cookies from your computer.

To delete Flash cookies you can go to online Flash Player Setting Manager or use GrekSoft Flash Cookie Remover, which is a lightweight app that allows you to clean Flash cookies that invade your privacy with just a click.
