• Stay on your computer for an unlimited amount of time.
• Store 100 kb of data by default, with an unlimited max.

That definitely a valuable question. Actually Adobe Flash Player maintains proprietary cookies called Local Shared Objects or LSO’s. LSO’s are actually capable of storing 100 kb’s of information for an indefinite amount of time by default and that the worst thing. When you clear your browser history on your favorite browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome or Opera) on Windows, Linux, or OS X LSO’s are not cleared from Adobe’s local repository.

The worst thing is, all this information will be there on your computer till it not deleted by the issuing website or by manually.
