On 10 August 2009, [[Wired (magazine)|''Wired'' magazine]] reported that more than half of the top websites used local shared objects to track users and store information about them, but only four of them mentioned it in their privacy policy. "Flash cookies are relatively unknown to web users," the article said, "even if a user thinks they have cleared their computer of tracking objects, they most likely have not." The article further says that some websites use Flash cookies as hidden backups so that they can restore HTTP cookies deleted by users.<ref name="wired-you-deleted-your-cookies-think-again">{{cite
