The Better Privacy extension let you manage Flash Local Storage Objects (LSO's) sometimes called supercookies. Adobe has some pages to let you view and delete them. A little less convenient but depending how many you are accumulating, this may be good enough?

Flash needs to be allowed on the pages for the storage manager dialogs to work:

General Storage Settings http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager03.html

Site-Specific Storage Settings http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager07.html

(Macromedia is the company that originally developed Flash, and it was acquired by Adobe a long time ago, so that server is legit.)
