TC's site is probably made by CoS or the same company that makes CoS websites. TC's entire life is controlled by CoS most probably. Anyways, who cares about that idiot...
TC so what...

WTF IS "Tom Cruise's website uses flash cookies to spy on visitors"? Chopped liver?
You are an extrordinary dissembler.
thoughts are real, its the things you think that are the illusion

Alex, you osabot, then why is Cruise using Flash Cookies on his website that are sending user browsing information back to his site? Are you attempting to obfuscate and misdirect from a scientology internet spying operation?
I would suggest reading all the comments at that linked site before deciding outrage is the proper response. It doesn't seem like a big deal to me at all.
At least Flash asks if it can access the microphone on your computer, while the FBI won't ask you before accessing the microphone in your cell phone (works even when it's powered off as long as the battery is still connected).

That does not surprise me, Paul.
Flash Cookies and the FBI are two entirely different bodies of data. One cannot make a proper comparison.At least Flash asks if it can access the microphone on your computer, while the FBI won't ask you before accessing the microphone in your cell phone (works even when it's powered off as long as the battery is still connected).

I'm siding with Alex on this one, looks like someone got a bit too paranoid.

Flash Cookies can definitely compromise one's privacy on the internet. You should read the article I linked if you did not.
How cautious does one have to be for you to believe that it is paranoia?
Exactly where do you draw the line?
A bit of common sense. Unless you are repeatedly ginving the cos your data via cookies and other means on the web, they have to corrolate a lot of info in order to match site visitors to sites. If you've not been on many of their flash pages then they have little info to match. If you've not then the chances are they have even less, if any.
How many hits do the cos and cruises sites get combined? either way, that's a lot of data to cross reference.
Your tinfoil hat is on too tight. It's not a big deal. Probably every flash site on the internet uses flash cookies. The paranoia is just making the rounds over the internet for some reason - It was on slashdot.org today too.

I think cookies with these properties are a privacy concern:
* Stay on your computer for an unlimited amount of time
* Store 100 kb of data by default, with an unlimited max
* Couldn’t be deleted by your browser
* Send previous visit information and history, by default, without your permission
It is good that the facts about Flash Cookies are being made known on the internet.
