The sport book BetCRIS used their technology for years. I am not hating here, this is just a true injustice how these people got rewarded from a company that was seemingly bankrolled or at the very least started with UB.
Flash Cookies somehow escaped scrutiny of so-called internet privacy experts somehow. These things are way worse than cookies and basically eternally persistent. Most people have never heard of them. This guy got rich with them
This seems like a post written in 2009, tbh. were flash cookies ever hard to delete and block? I'm pretty sure I've been doing it for close to a decade or more now. Not allowing local storage has always been an option, right in the flash settings manager. also, this wasn't some secret thing for very long, flash cookies and their tracking threat were written about all over the place, years ago, often. Every decent privacy app or extension deleted LSOs as a matter of course, and unless you are still using a crazy old version of IE or some shit like that (or maybe an outdated android job), there's a solid chance your browser defaults won't even allow flash to do anything, and certainly allows the deleting of all LSOs after every browsing session, if you decide to allow them at all.
