What about “HIDDEN FILES”? I just found cookies from iqt.org on a PC, and it won’t be deleted. This is the spy group from the CIA… how to remove??????

Hello, this is 2011! There is no “Show Cookies” button in Preferences/Security.

I use Safari Cookies from Sweet Productions. It’s the best cookie manager I have ever used for Safari. Plus, it’s free! Check it out here:

oops that last post is about flash cookies, that’s from the flush website

In Mac OS X they are stored in the following location:
/User’s Home Folder/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/#SharedObjects

The settings for the Flash cookies are stored in:
/User’s Home Folder/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/macromedia.com/support/flashplayer/sys

In OS X Local Shared Objects, or Flash Cookies, are appended with a .sol suffix. Flush deletes the Flash cookies (.sol) and their settings.

Flash cookies for websites are in ~/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/FlashPlayer.

Flash cookies for AIR Applications, ~/Library/Preferences/[id] and ~/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/FlashPlayer/macromedia.com/Support/flashplayer/sys

for Flash Cookies you could download and use Flush or if you use FireFox only you could download and use BetterPrivacy.
