   Nopes, flash cookies live in their own space, apart from browser cookies and they’re not integrated. You can delete them manually, as well as disabling the storage option for all sites or for specific sites. Details at http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=52697ee8&sliceId=2

   yes. There’s two relevant directories. This script is for a mac.

   #!/bin/tcsh
   # ok, so I’m lame for tcsh

   cd “${HOME}/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/”

   foreach d ( macromedia.com/support/flashplayer/sys/* \#SharedObjects/*/* )
   rm -rf “$d” && touch “$d” && chmod 400 “$d”
   end
