How do I stop "delete cookies" from deleting saved games of a flash based game?

I'm running Firefox 4 under Windows 7.
I have it currently set to delete my history when I end the session, including cookies and temporary files. This is due to privacy concerns.
However, I also have a (downloaded - not run online or via a browser) flash based game on my computer - which saves games as LSOs.
Firefox therefore deletes my saved games when I exit.
How can I address my privacy concerns and still play this game?

I am having a problem where my flash game saves are deleting themselves on their own. I don't even have to clear browsing history, and I do not have any cleaning software installed. I have set storage to unlimited and that worked for a few days but I loaded a game this evening and my save file was gone and the storage had been reset to 100kB. I haven't touched anything, haven't deleted anything. It's infuriating.

How do you stop unauthorized cookies from appearing in Safari?

Hi ,
I'm using Safari 5.1.10 and system 10.6.8. I've gotten all the security downloads available, but I seem to having issues with unauthorized cookies appearing. These seem to appear even though I've not visited their websites, and have Safari set to accept cookies from only sites I've visited.
After going to Preferences:Privacy: remove all website data: then remove all cookies,
If I just wait a few minutes, I get 72 website cookies restored to my computer, without doing anything. These include cookies from google, alibaba, 2mdn.net, facebook, microsoft, oracle and many more. Some of these declare they are using local storage, others the catch, while others just declare themselves as cookies.
These appear in spite of the fact that I have the preferences set to block cookies from third party advertizers, set Extensions to OFF, but have Javascript enabled, and allow Java, but deny all other plug-ins.
If I unclick the allow Java button in Preferences:security, then 11 of these cookies sneek back in, but the others seem to be blocked. Those that come back include Alibaba, apple, google-analytics, "local documents on my computer", machine-seeker, wikipedia, and a few others.
If I disable JavaScript in Preferences:Security, now I get only cookies from sites I've visited, as I'm supposed to, according to the settings in my Safari preferences.
So it seems that some unscrupulous information collectors are collecting data even when the Safari settings should prohibit it. Unfortunately, some of the sites I visit ( Like Apple support communities) require that Javascript be enabled, so I don't know how to stop this.
The problem is that I've found these unwarrented cookies appear to slow down my internet connection speeds by ~ 95% ( Try removing them and disabling Javascript to see what happens) in addition to it being an invasion of my privacy. In addition, it really bothers me that some of these sites are storing local documents on my computer without permission.
As I've said, I've already installed ALL the pertinent security updates. Does anybody have any idea how to stop this from happening? I presume this is also happening on my iphone and ipad as well, but haven't checked.
I see that Safari was sued by Apple in 2012 for doing just this same thing, but they appear to be up to their old tricks, as well as many other companies.
Thanks

Hi,
I've investigated this phenomena of UNauthorized Cookies a bit more in the past few days and found their cause and uses goes very deep down the internet rabbit hole. While most browsers allow the user to delete cookies, or to block cookies from third parties, third parties may place cookies or "cookie equivalents" on your computer through a large variety of back doors. The most pernicious type of such cookie is euphemistically called a "Zombie Cookie" or a "supercookie".
These may reside in a number of places either in your own computer or remotely on the web. Deleting zombie cookies or supercookies is generally ineffective, because they are reinstalled in your browser, or worse, just exchange information with your browser withouth leaving a trail of cookie crumbs, the next time you get online. Some of these zombie cookies are not browser specific, so they can be accessed through all browsers on your computer.
The reason that you may never have heard of supercookies, and the reason they are so hard to find and get rid of, is that their deployment is deliberately sneaky and designed to evade detection and deletion. This means that most people who think they have cleared their computers of tracking objects have likely not. The European Union has recently taken action to make illegal the emplacement of "non-essential" cookies on your computer, but the United States, being less concerned about your personal privacy, and more concerned about making it easy for companies (and the government) to eavesdrop, has not.
The following is a list ( probably incomplete) where zombie cookies may be hiding on your computer:
Standard HTTP cookies
Storing cookies in and reading out web history
Storing cookies in HTTP ETags
Internet Explorer userData storage (starting IE9, userData is no longer supported)
HTML5 Session Storage
HTML5 Local Storage
HTML5 Global Storage
HTML5 Database Storage via SQLite
Storing cookies in RGB values of auto-generated, force-cached PNGs using HTML5 Canvas tag to read pixels (cookies) back out
Local Shared Objects
Silverlight Isolated Storage
Cookie syncing scripts that function as a cache cookie and respawn the MUID cookie[4]
If a user is not able to remove the cookie from every one of these data stores then the cookie will be recreated to all of these stores on the next visit to the site that uses that particular cookie, or in some cases, just the next visit to the internet, even though you may have barred 3rd party cookies from being emplaced in your browser. Every company has their own implementation of zombie cookies and most are kept proprietary, although an open-source implementation of zombie cookies, called Evercookie,[5] is available and commonly used.
One such common type of supercookie is called Local shared objects (LSOs), or more commonly Flash cookies (due to their similarities with HTTP cookies), are pieces of data that websites which use Adobe Flash may store on a user's computer. Local shared objects are used by all versions of Adobe Flash Player and version 6 and above of Macromedia's now-obsolete Flash Player.[1]
It is possible to see who is using Flash cookies on your computer, (and remove them) by going to the adobe website storage settings panel : (http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_man ager07.html). This takes you to a settings manager figure. This Settings Manager figure that you see on this page is not an image; it is the actual Settings Manager for your computer. Click the tabs to see different panels, and click the options in the panels to change your Adobe Flash Player settings.
So far, I have not been able to find a method of removing or inhibiting zombie cookies that use HTML5 local or global storage locations. Some browsers may provide such power, but Apple Safari apparently does not.
For more information on supercookies see:
https://www.bestvpn.com/blog/8177/super-cookies-flash-cookies/
There are some ways to reduce your load of unwanted cookies and local storage type cookies using extensions such as AdBlock or Disconnect, But I've tried some of these and it doesn't seem to stop very many of them, even though the Disconnect extension is said to block over 2000 of these types of cookies.
For those who are trying to ride under the radar by using some of these extensions or software blockers, be aware that use of these may actually make you more visible because of browser fingerprinting. Whenever you visit a website your browser sends data to the server hosting that site. This data includes basic information, including the browser name, operating system, and exact version number of the browser. This information is known as passive browser fingerprint because it happens automatically. However websites when blocked, can also easily install other types of scripts that ask for additional information, such as a list of all installed fonts and plugins, supported data types (so-called MIME types), screen resolution, system colors and much more. Because this information has to be solicited from your browser, it is known as active fingerprinting. Taken altogether, the various fingerprint attributes can be almost instantly (it takes just a few milliseconds to run algorithms that compare millions of fingerprints) combined to create a unique fingerprint that can be used to very accurately identify an individual user, no matter if cookies have been deleted or IP address changed between website visits.
For an article on browser fingerprinting, See : https://www.bestvpn.com/blog/8159/browsers-fingerprint-reduce/
The bottom line is that if you use the internet, your browser history is being tracked by a myriad of companies and government agents, and it is likely not possible to stop this. For those who work in science, industry or government and are working on sensitive topics or novel product development that another company or government may find interesting, there appears to be many ways to recreate what you are working on by studying your browser history, or installing worms to view exactly what you are writing or reading. It came as somewhat of a shock to me to see just how pervasive internet spying has become, and it's not just malicious or destrustive agents who are doing so. Google didn't become a $350 billion company by simply bringing nice toys to us to play with. The real value of the internet comes from the trade and sale of secretly obtained personal information from you and I and everyone else, and its sale to all who will pay for it.

How do I stop tracking cookies from respawning every time I open a Firefox window?

I'm in Firefox 21. I tried to delete my cookies, but when I close and reopen the "Show Cookies" window, all cookies have respawned, including many third party advertising cookies from sites I have never visited, sites such as 2o7.net, interclick.com, adlegend.com, and about a hundred others. This is in spite of the fact that I have "Accept third-party cookies" unclicked. How can I delete these advertising tracking cookies and ensure that they never come back?

Additional Detail: If I close all tabs and windows of Firefox, then the cookies do not respawn; the cookies window then remains empty. However, once I open a window and navigate to any page, they all come back.

Everything that you have checked in your icloud settings will be shared between devices using the same Apple ID. If you don't want icloud to share that information, then simply turn off that process under settings > icloud

How do I stop the console from reporting errors on an application I have already deleted?

Hi, I'm somewhat new at using macbook pros. My macbook pro runs snow leoperd 10.6.8. I just recently learned that console is a good way to check on what your computer is doing so i went in checked on it. I noticed that a program i recently deleted called teamviewer was logged A TON. There had to have been thousands of logs. I had thought that I completely removed this application but it is constantly logging logs that look like this:
3/4/13 9:17:04 PM com.apple.launchd.peruser.501[96] (com.teamviewer.desktop) Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds

I would like to stop my macbook pro from doing whatever it is doing but I can't really understand technical talk so I have no idea what to do. How do I stop my computer from doing whatever this is and completely delete teamviewer off of my computer?

Sounds like you deleted the TeamViewer application, but did not uninstall the software, using whatever uninstaller is provided.
In this case, it looks like you still have a LaunchAgent installed. In the Finder, choose Go -> Go to Folder and enter the following path:
~/Library/LaunchAgents
In that folder, delete anything that has TeamViewer in the name. If you don't see anything there, try looking in this folder instead:
/Library/LaunchDaemons
After deleting from either of those locations, restart your computer.

How do I stop my ipad from referencing an old apple id? My old ID was deleted by an Apple representative months ago. When I try to "update" my ipad it always references my old apple id which I no longer have a password for..help

How do I stop my ipad from referencing an old apple id? My old Apple ID was my old email address. I contacted Apple and it was deleted by an Apple representative months ago. Whenever I try to "update" my ipad (games etc.) it always references my "old apple id" which I no longer have a password for or have any access too..help

Problem is...I do NOT know the password for this "old" apple id. I haven't used this apple id in over 1 year and it "suddenly" started to show up. I can NOT update or down load any updates without knowing the old apple id's password either. I am getting help. I was able to contact tech support and they are in the process of helping me within an email reply to "reset" my password from that old Apple id, in the next 24 hours.
Thank you all for your help! I hope we are able to resolve this issue. Again, it is very odd that my "old" email or original Apple ID decided to appear after such a long span. I will keep you all posted as to how it was resolved when I hear back via an email.

how do i stop my ipad from automatically deleting my hotmail inbox and putting it into pop trash? It has only started doing it since i synced with my MacBook Air

If emails are being deleted, then it's not the Apple products, it's the POP account. When one device reads an email, it's removed from the server, so the other devices can't get that same email. That's a POP account.

How do I stop the cursor from spontaneously going to Line one Space one in Notes?
I am currently working on a MacBook Pro connected by Wi-Fi or Blue Tooth to my 16GB iPhone 4S; and supposedly to iCloud. I install every upgrade on each computer till the computer can take no more. My current MacBook Pro continues to accept upgrades.
I have been dealing with Address Book foibles since it first came out and the problems seem to get worse rather than resolved.
Problem #1: When a Company Name is checked to take precedence over a personal name the record/file does not surface during searches. This has happened for years on all my Macs, including most recently my MacBook Pro and its predecessor PowerBook G4. How do I fix this?
Problem #2: The Printing Defaults for Address Book Files are not useful and I can find no way to change them to my own preferences once and for all. I must reset them for every file every time I choose to print a file. Is there some way to set the defaults to MY preferences and only occasionally reset them according to my needs?
Problem #3: When entering information in "Notes" the cursor randomly and spontaneously goes to line one space one as I am entering information. How do I stop this? Then when I cut and paste the misplaced text to where it belongs it may or may not return to once again begin at line one space one and following.
Problem #4: When Printing a Record/File from Address Book I would like to use the whole 8.5" x 11" page. Instead it prints on an 8.5" x 11" page in three columns. Is there a way to format the output? I have not found one and the Mac 'Geniuses' do not know of any.
Problem #5: Subsequent to one of the upgrades in the last year or so, the search feature does not work. (I have had this computer since May 2011). No matter what I type in the search line I am stuck in the 'All' Directory. To find anyone or anything I must scroll through the address book manually. Is there a fix to this?
Problem #6: Sometimes, when I try to sync my MacBook Pro and my iPhone, the records simply duplicate. How d I undo this without manually deleting the duplicates?
Problem #7: Does anyone know of a third party Address-Book-type App that is better than the Apple version and can easily import over 3000 contacts information?

'''I had the same problem when I updated to firefox 4. This is how i fixed it:'''
The problem seems to be caused by the 'New Tab Homepage' add on. So:
# Disable or remove the 'New Tab Homepage' add on and restart firefox.
# Download and install the firefox add on called 'NewTabURL' and restart firefox.
# Click on the Options button for NewTabURL and uncheck 'Select location bar after loading new tab'
# Under the 'Default URL for new tabs' heading, choose 'Home Page'
# Click on the Save button.
Hopefully, problem solved!

How do I stop an app from waiting? I have tried to reboot by holding the home key and power button to power down. Also, I have tried to sync the apps from my laptop with no success. Can you help? Thanks.

How do I stop an app from waiting? I have tried to reboot by holding the home key and power button to power down. The app is still grayed out and waiting so it cannot be deleted. Also, I have tried to sync the apps from my laptop and tried downloading new appswith no success. Can you help? Thanks

If there are multiple apps trying to download at once, only one can download at a time and the rest say "Waiting" until it is then their turn. Try this. Double tap the icon of the Waiting app, and it should resume the download.

Another thing to try - Turn the iPad Off & then back ON.
If that doesn't work:
• Log out of your iTunes store account. Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
• Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
• After restart, the Waiting should be gone.
