If your cleaner is going to remove cookies then it should just remove cookies. If it is going to remove LSO then it should say it is going to remove LSO.
I use another program to manage my LSO and protect the ones I need to keep from deletion. It pisses me off when another service deletes all my protected LSO without telling me that is what it is going to do. It will take me weeks to get all of the LSO data back.
Can you not analyze BEFORE you clean and see that your LSO will be erased ?

I did analyze first. It showed cookies. It did not show LSO.
I think what you call LSO are, to me, unwanted parasites with malware capabilities that are to be exterminated.
When I run CCleaner I see such things not listed under cookies, but under files as :-
Multimedia - Adobe Flash Player
Multimedia - Flash 10*
They do not appear under Cookies to keep / Cookies to Delete.

Just because you don't want all of them does not mean that I want all of mine deleted. There are some uses for them that is not malware or parasites. That is why I run a separate program to manage them and allow me to protect the ones I want to keep. I do see that CCleaner is listing them under multimedia. That just makes it harder to find.
LSO are listed (as Alan stated)
in
Multimedia - Adobe Flash Player Multimedia - Flash 10*
and yes there ARE visible in cookies to keep

I do NOT stand corrected.
At all times I have allowed that LSO is meat to you, but to me they are poison.
So far as I am concerned they serve no useful purpose at all.
I find that I get them as soon as I log in to Gmail.
I suppose it allows Google to track me as I browse the Internet,
and it allows them to aim targetted adverts at me - which I do not need.
I learnt to hate them even before there were zombie cookies.
My son posted family holiday snapshots on a Photo sharing site.
I tried to view, but Firefox was overloaded and took over 1 GB of real RAM and then ran out of steam in virtual Ram.
After rebooting I compared my system with an earlier partition image and found a 130 KB item that did not belong. I searched and discovered it was an LSO. There was no identification of where it came from.
How can you trust a file that is dumped on your system without permission and with no traceability of where it came from ?
I used Regshot to observe what happened when I returned to the Photo site, and that confirmed this site was guilty.
That Photo site is legitimate but I do not trust its behavior.
Their Technical support gave no information when I asked what they were doing.
I believe that 130 KB was a shopping list of the entire holiday album,
and had they not crashed Firefox it would have added "customer convenience" for selecting what I wanted them to enlarge and print and post to me, and could well have been utilized to capture my credit card information upon purchase.
For extra "customer convenience" they might have left that LSO on my system to save me the bother of entering credit card information upon future visits. I know that would be too stupid for words, but I cannot trust a site that consistently and repeatedly crashes Firefox and without permission dumps anonymous LSO on my system.
To each his own
