Tools to read and edit SOL files have emerged. Examples of non-Flash SOL-file editors and toolkits include: [http://solve.sourceforge.net SolVE], [http://www.alexisisaac.net/flash/articles/.sol-editor-local-shared-object--2.html .SOL Editor], and [http://dojotoolkit.org Dojo JavaScript Toolkit]. For users of [[Windows XP]], they can expect to find the LSOs under their user [[Directory (file systems)|directory]]. [http://www.maxa-tools.com/cookie.htm MAXA Cookie Manager] is the first Cookie Manager that is able to handle LSOs beneath conventional Cookies.

Line 28 ⟶ 29:

To this day, there is little public awareness of Adobe/Macromedia's hidden, proprietary-cookie LSOs, and no widespread, well-known utility-suite, anti-spyware, or anti-adware programs that address them. Users who delete traditional cookies with such programs may find those cookies resurrected because of Adobe/Macromedia's LSOs: [http://www.out-law.com/page-5502 Tool Can Resurrect Deleted Cookies (''Out-Law.com'')]. Since LSOs, unlike traditional cookies, have no expiration dates, the information resurrected in those cookies may persist indefinitely.
