Davon hatte ich bisher nichts gewusst: Super-Cookies
* they are never expiring - staying on your computer for an unlimited time.
* by default they offer a storage of 100 KB (compare: Usual cookies 4 KB).
* browsers are not aware of those cookies, LSO's usually cannot be removed by browsers.
* via Flash they can access and store highly specific personal and technical information (system, user name, .).
* ability to send the stored information to the appropriate server, without user's permission.
* flash applications do not need to be visible to the user
* there is no easy way to tell which flash-cookie sites are tracking you.
* shared folders allow cross-browser tracking, all browsers use the same LSO folder
* the company doesn't provide a user-friendly way to manage LSO's, in fact it's incredible cumbersome.
* many domains and tracking companies make extensive use of flash-cookies.
* flash-cookies are used to re-create data of deleted traditional cookies.
Abhilfe schafft wohl nur manuelles Löschen, für Firefox gibt es ein Add-On.
Gegen DOM-Storage hilft (bei Firefox) folgender Tip: about:config in die Browser Zeile. Suchen nach dom.storage.enabled und mit Doppelklick den Wert von true auf false setzen.
