I have disabled in the control panel. I still see folders created with chnges in pages whgen no video is used.

Does Adobe have a privay policy?

With storage disabled, what is Adobe tracking and how is this data being used?

When I go to CNN or Yahoo mail logon, a folder is created. Please explain what Adobe is doing, is my site history being tracked by Adobe?

When going to FOX News on selecting a video pop asks for permission to store, files are simultaneously created in the macromedia/sys folder.  3. The macromedia settings file is updated saying allow FOX.  3. The settings file is updated to allow FOX News.    If any site can write the settings file it appears there is no way to deny object storage. Without local controls and protection of the settings, then there appears to be no security.

    Hi, you might be interested in this article:

    The Global Settings Panels have various Panels to set as the user prefers.

    Some of the Panels work together.

    Whenever I receive a popup from a website asking for permission to either increase or allow something, I just click on no and have always been able to view the site anyway.
