cookie nomenclature question: LSO = flash cookie = LocalStorage = some directories?
Posted: 2018-10-04, 21:25
I'm trying to understand cookie management & the various extensions for it.
Are these expressions completely synonymous?:
flash cookie
LSO
LocalStorage data
DOM storage
Web storage
Wikip. tells me that the first 2 are, is mum about the 3rd, and unclear about the last 2. "LocalStorage data" is used in describing several of the PM extensions. Wikip' also says that on linux systems some of this is stored in some combination of:
~/.macromedia/Flash_Player/#SharedObjects/
~/.macromedia/Flash_Player/macromedia.com/support/flashplayer/sys/
~/.gnash/SharedObjects/
~/.config/google-chrome/Default/Pepper Data/Shockwave Flash/WritableRoot/#SharedObjects/
but I have no such directories.
Nor can I find a LocalStorage directory, nor a global variable of that name.
Is all this stuff in
~/.moonchild productions/pale moon/bsygixk9.he/webappsstore.sqlite ?
And is what the extensions are doing about it simply zeroing out or deleting this file?
