Company Bypasses Cookie-Deleting Consumers .
Mere lusket snagen “…In addition, PIE, which can’t be easily removed, can also act as a cookie backup, since it contains the same information.”
Ideen er såvidt jeg kan se at forhindre folk i at slette cookies ved brug af en facilitet i Macromedia Falshplayer: “United Virtualities’s PIE helps combat this consumer behavior by leveraging a feature in Flash MX called local shared objects. ” … og senere “While consumers have learned to delete cookies, most are unaware of shared objects, and don’t know how to disable them.” Interessant læsning.
Macromedia har postet info om hvordan man sletter shared objects. (Via Slashdot)
