sadly, that will have no effect on FLASH Player cookies... they are stored
in a much different area in a different format... because Flash stuff is
"outside" the browser, browser settings won't do much against
them... they are so insidious, that they can be respawned after being wiped
and cleaned... this is one reason why so many ads are now done with
Flash... they can still track your movements around the 'net... the only
real solution is to not use Flash or to limit what Flash can store and/or
when it is allowed to run...
