Line 42: Most web browser users do not realize that web pages do not have to offer any visible signs that a Flash application is running and accessing personal information stored in SOL files. It is difficult for the user to detect whether a Flash application is utilizing SOL files. 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: [<ref> {{cite web \| url = http://www.out-law.com/page-5502 \| title= Tool Can Resurrect Deleted Cookies ~~(''~~\| publisher=[[Out-Law.com~~'')~~]]\| date=2005-05-04 \|accessdate=2007-12-05}}</ref>. Since LSOs, unlike traditional cookies, have no expiration dates, the information resurrected in those cookies may persist indefinitely. == References ==
