norel Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Analysis shows two flash cookies, but a thorough check of my system shows none exist. I have Better Privacy with Firefox 31, and it shows that they were already deleted. What gives? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted September 4, 2014 Moderators Share Posted September 4, 2014 I had this once before. I was able to get rid of them by using the cleaners built into Internet Explorer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norel Posted September 5, 2014 Author Share Posted September 5, 2014 I tried deleting IE browsing history but it didn't help. Something's screwey with the way CCleaner handles cookies. I unticked every option in the Windows and Applications tabs, but "s.ytimg.com" still shows in "Cookies on Computer," even if I restart CC and then analyze with Firefox and IE closed. It's a Flash cookie and is getting deleted by Better Privacy, but for some reason CC can't tell it's gone. It's also doing this with other cookies that aren't Flash cookies. They don't show in analysis results, but do show in "Cookies on Computer," but they've already been deleted. I'll keep an eye on it and post again when I have something to demonstrate my point. I'm using CC 4.17.4808. Tested on XP and Vista and it does the same thing in both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted September 5, 2014 Moderators Share Posted September 5, 2014 Are you letting CCleaner delete the Flash Player settings.sol file by having the Flash Player cleaner enabled? If not, and if you don't have any sites such as online games that you need to keep Flash settings retained in deleting it may help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Nergal Posted September 5, 2014 Moderators Share Posted September 5, 2014 Flash isn't checked on the second tab of ccleaner (applications tab) ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF. Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark) ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

molitar Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 The bug is that it's not deleting IE cookies. I go manually into IE which I do not use and delete the cookies and they disappear from CCleaner. CCleaner is not deleting the IE cookies is what it comes down to.. it's broken for IE cookies.

Your issue is different, the original poster clearly show known flash cookies.
