Additions to Local Storage Still Result in Prompt

Although I've manually added sites to the 'Local Storage Settings by Site' dialogue under the 'Flash Player Settings Manager', I continue to receive the 'Adobe Flash Player Settings: Local Storage' prompt asking me to allow or deny those sites to store information on the computer.

I've seen the resources below but I'm not seeing where they either (a) specifically speak to this problem or (b) detail how to deal with this an enterprise environment (e.g.: programmatically pre-populated).

Constructive guidance is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for taking the time to reply Kratika Agarwal; I do appreciate your willingness to help.

It seems there may be a misunderstanding here so I'm going to step through the process so you can better understand what I'm experiencing in effort to minimize any confusion about what my experience is and what my objective is.

I go to the Control Panel and launch the 'Flash Player' applet where I can see the 'Allow sites to save information on this computer' is already selected; presumably this is enabled by default?
I open Internet Explorer 11 (on Windows 7) and visit a particular website where I am prompted to store the details.

This is the prompt I want to avoid; specifically on 'approved' websites.
I click 'Allow' and I can do what I need to do on the site so I close Internet Explorer.
I go back to the Control Panel and launch the 'Flash Player' applet, 'Allow sites to save information on this computer' is still selected, so I click the 'Local Storage Settings by Site' button where I can see the site is listed in there with a 'Storage Access' of 'Allow'
I then remove the site from that list and click the 'Delete All' button for good measure,
I close 'Flash Player Settings Manager' and reopen to confirm the 'Local Storage Settings by Site' list is still empty; and it is.
I manually add the website in question exactly as it was listed as before
I close out of the 'Flash Player Settings Manager' and go back into it to confirm the setting is there; and it is
I open Internet Explorer and go back to the website, and yet I'm still prompted.

Again, I want to avoid this prompt altogether; especially for 'approved' websites.

The objective is to secure Flash in a meaningful way

By setting the storage setting to prompt the user
By pre-populating the Local Storage list with websites approved to save data so that when the user visits the website they're not prompted.

At this point Flash prompts the user even though (a) Flash is set to allow sites to save information and (b) the website is already in the list with the storage access set to allow.

Does this help?

Thanks again!
