Original Message This appears to be coming from Youtube.

I just noticed this today.

GLP itself does not set flash cookies
on your computer, however when you
click on any GLP thread that has a
youtube embed on it, it sets a flash
cookie on your drive.

I detected this using KFC (Kill Flash Cookies).

Here is you a test to run on your PC.

If you have KFC installed, click on it
to open.

then clear all flash cookies.

now, refresh any GLP thread that has
a youtube video embed on it. But don't
start the video.

Now go back to KFC and run another search
for flash cookies.

Find youtube's hidden flash cookie and you
didn't even start the or watch the video yet.

no matter how many times you delete this
flash cookie with KFC, it returns immediately
after refreshing a GLP page with a youtube
video embed on it.

does anybody else feel uncomfortable
with this ???
