Local storage settings

Local storage settings let you specify whether websites can store information using Flash Player. Sites can use local storage to save viewing history, game progress, preferences, or information about your computer. A site can only access local storage information that it previously saved (it cannot access data stored by another site).You can allow all sites, allow only certain sites that you specify, or block all sites from saving information on your computer using Flash Player.

•

Allow sites to save information on this computer

If you want to allow any site to save information on your computer without prompting you, select this option.

•

Ask me before allowing new sites to save information on this computer

If you want to let some websites save information on your computer, and want to decide on a case-by-case basis for each site, select this option.

•

Block all sites from storing information on this computer

If you don't want to let any website save any information on your computer using Flash Player and never want to be prompted, select this option.

Note: Selecting this option also deletes all existing local storage on your computer. You are prompted to confirm that you want to delete existing local storage in addition to blocking sites from saving information in the future.

I feel as though I would like to use the block all site option. Is this wise? what do most people do?

Thank you,
