Default Flash Cookies.

Hello,

I use Tor and when I do I disable Flash. However, when not using Tor sometimes I do use Flash.

I was surprised today to discover in my .macromedia folder on Ubuntu dozens of flash cookies.

Can these cookies have connected my static non-Tor IP and the various Tor IPs. In other words, if when using Tor I go to www.yahoo.com can Yahoo know my "real" IP based on the flash cookie it sent me when I connected earlier when not using Tor?

And can the flash cookie connect to the website even when flash is turned off?

Thanks.
