Ever wondered why you are still tracked though you tried everything to prevent it?

Google now uses flash cookies that don't even get recognised by most cookie filters and don't expire until 2038.
Supposedly Microsoft are to be using something similar with Bing as do Yahoo.

On my 1st use of it it removed 127 flash cookies that didn't show up when I use other "cookie cleaners"

While you cannot always ensure your privacy, by using the right tools you certainly improve your odds.
