Do you use a web browser? Adobe is tracking you.
Anonymous Coward User ID: 53438437 Ireland 01/26/2014 03:44 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	Do you use a web browser? Adobe is tracking you. Adobe is used within most browsers. Adobe Flash is the main culprit. When you install adobe flash player you have to agree to a terms of use. This terms of use, if you read the whole 3 pages will tell you that by default when you install Adobe flash that you agree to allow Adobe to collect user statistics. This includes listening to your microphone, your speakers, and even webcam access WITHOUT you knowing. So what can be done about it? DISABLE IT. Adobe has a "Global Settings Manager" with options to turn off logging capability's. You can even turn off LSO cookie storage without the need of a third party program. Visiting the link below, regardless of browser will set what you choose regardless of the browsers you use. [link to www.macromedia.com]

With the Hubble satellite. Where? Princeton Distorted Optics Why? For Saudi Arabia. Oh look King Abdullah looks like Javier Solana looks like some Bertin dude from lancaster who was a vile little man, named after a french class ship from a world war. Bertin class ship. 50 years of NASA technology. Expired 2008. Yeah, this will definitely not end well unless you play repo man real quick here i would be talking about stolen pentagon computers and fences to the resident Beth.

I made this thread to help people understand all the past threads this week about Chrome and Firefox bugs that allow this stuff.. It's not the browsers, it's ADOBE.

Can someone sticky this thread?

If I do this stuff what you said, will this change the performance of Adobe? Quoting: shyrlymyrly Nope. It's all privacy related and will not interfere with videos that is flash enabled, nor will it interfere with ads. Tho, this is a whole other privacy issue for Adobe does keep track of users video viewing from sites such as you tube, college humor, face book. There are alternatives to Adobe Flash, just search around as there are plenty of addons for Chrome or Firefox that disables all of Adobe Flash items while allowing you do view Flash based videos and sites.

Here is the Global Security Settings panel. [link to www.macromedia.com] "Note: The Settings Manager that you see above is not an image; it is the actual Settings Manager itself. Click the tabs to see different panels, and click the options in the panels to change your Adobe Flash Player settings."

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 53438437 I have Firefox. As a girl I am pretty stupid in these things. Do you still use Adobe? Or you use the substitute of it? Maybe I should delete adobe...

The Settings manager on the Adobe site is pretty self explanatory. Just disable Adobe from collecting data by use of your webcam and microphone, and disable LSO cookie storage.
