Does IE InPrivate Browsing erase Flash cookies after a session is closed?

Thanks

Searching on Google for

flash cookies inprivate

I found this as the second result:

http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2010/02/11/adobe-flash-now-supports-inprivate-browsing.aspx

it would have been the first result if you hadn't posted this topic on the
newsgroup (which is showing as the first result via technologyquestions.com
which replicates the newsgroup to a web front end).

The simple answer is "yes".

Oops, forgot a caveat in my other reply. It's "yes" if you're using Flash
10.1 or higher, "no" if a lower version is used.

Nearly 100% of ALL usenet posts are permanently stored at
Google and many other sites. They're there so anyone can
search for them and find answers to their questions.

HTH,

And? My point was that a search would have yielded up a very useful post as
the #1 result. Now it's no longer #1, it's #2, with #1 being a post asking
about the problem that #2 covers ...

Surely it's better to search and find a useful article, than it is to search
and find newsgroup posts that you have to trawl through to find the links to
the useful articles.

Hi,

I'd thought I would submit a wrap up post to summarize the answer and side
issues.

IE cannot erase the Flash player cookies, or presumbly, of any other plugin.
Adobe has, with v10.1, added a feature to the Flash player that will
recognize the private browsing mode (of IE and other browsers) and erase
anything stored during the private session.

The best Google search terms are "flash player cookies inprivate". When I
submitted this search, the second link was the Adobe post explaining all of
this.

There are many websites that copy these user groups posts with the sole
purpose of selling advertising. This greatly pollutes the search results and
is the reason I came to this user group in the first place.

I am also surprised that Google profiles me and other posters. In the Google
profile for Scott@nospam.com it lists 2300+ posts made by that email
address. I don't see any positive value to me or society in Google
storing/listing my posts in one page (of course those are not all my posts).

Google results can be deceptive as well as wrong. I happen to planning a
trip to Las Vegas and searched Google for "salt lick bbq las vegas". It
returned a result that this restaurant is in the Red Rock Casino. But that
placed closed a year and half ago. The link displayed a cached page of the
casino site and I did not see any notice that it was a cached page and
therefore wrong. I did not see a link reporting that this chain had left the
Las Vegas market.

Thanks
Scott
Los Angeles
