Flash Cookie Confession?
September 16, 2009
I was pretty stunned to read this piece posted on MediaPost today. It usually takes a subpoena to obtain documents with comments like this:
“When Tatto began to develop its core behavioral frameworks and algorithms, it believed Flash cookies would remain the best way to slow the ability of consumers to delete cookies from their computers. Flash cookies are no different than regular cookies in terms of user privacy, but on average remain on a person’s computer for more than three months.”
Huh? Mr. Miao, please talk to a privacy professional ASAP. And read our previous post advising companies against misuse of flash cookies!
