Cookies in Flash files
What is FlashFlash is a file format used to show video and animation. We use Flash files to present information on our sites and integrate with third parties, such as YouTube.
It is possible for third party creators of Flash files to set cookies as part of

Flash platform is distributed by Adobe and they offer a number of tools to monitor,
block and remove flash cookies:

Cookies used for transactions and forms

all need cookies to function.
From time to time, we may include short-term surveys, comparisons and other temporary
features on our site that could use cookies. If we do this, we'll always try to
make sure that we list the cookies that are used, but this may not always be possible
given the short-term nature of these features.
