Local Shared Object
Local shared objects (LSOs), commonly called flash cookies (due to their similarities with HTTP cookies), are pieces of data that websites which use Adobe Flash may store on a user's computer. Local shared objects are used by all versions of Adobe Flash Player and version 6 and above of Macromedia's now-obsolete Flash Player.
While websites may use local shared objects for purposes such as storing user preferences, there have been privacy concerns regarding local shared objects, and they may be considered a breach of browser security.

—State of New Mexico, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“Common sense is judgment without reflection, shared by an entire class, an entire nation, or the entire human race.”
