Here's an update on the SuperCookie issue that I reported earlier today: 1. My mistake for now catching this one earlier. As some people pointed out, turning off the "Allow Internet Sites to uniquely identify your player" in WMP gets rid of the SuperCookie problem. With this option turned off, the WMP ActiveX control will return different player ID numbers for each IE session. This work-around appears to be available in the versions of WMP that ship with IE6 and Windows XP. Note that SuperCookies are turned on by default in IE/WMP. However, asking the average user to solve an Internet Explorer privacy leak by manually changing settings in a different program seems a bit much to me. Especially considering that there are many people who have never run Windows Media Player, yet they are still vulnerable to the problem. 2. SuperCookies are also available in Netscape Navigator using the WMP plugin. 3. The actual WMP player ID number is stored in the Windows registry in these keys: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows Media\WMSDK\General string value "UniqueID" or HKEY_USERS\<user>\Software\Microsoft\Windows Media\WMSDK\General string value "UniqueID" If one of these keys is manually changed using REGEDIT, the demo page will show the new ID number.
