The CCleaner app identifies and removes flash cookies. Running it regularly to get rid of your stored internet files is a good step. You can have CCleaner secure wipe files if you want some extra peace of mind.

I just did a search in Google for "Supercuts".  At the top of the list
was a map of the area where I live, showing the location of the nearest
Supercuts store to my house.

I have the preference variable geo.enabled set to "false".  I have no
cookies set for Supercuts.  The only cookie I have for Google resulted
from my setting my search preferences; in those preferences, I left my
location blank.

Why does it appear that I'm still getting location-aware browsing?

Also, make sure you clean your flash cookies because
every flash site you have visited is stored on your computer.


This last thing is also a problem.  I have FlashBlock installed and
enabled.  Still, I get Flash cookies stored on my hard drive.
