I've been getting Adobe Flash messages today from YouTube:
Adobe Flash Player Settings
Local Storage ?
s.ytimg.com is requesting permission to
store information on my computer.
i looked it up for ya
it's a Flash cookie (cookies are "local storage" and Flash's way of
doing it is
"secured" by default with this type of message); the domain ytimg.com is
owned
by Google (which owns YouTube); Flash cookies, like regular cookies,
must have
an associated domain; this domain need not be one that has any web pages
you can load
This link may be useful for understanding of what is happening:

I know that the flash player on the old WinXP box does that time-to-time
- with various flash-based websites, but not on my Win7 laptop.

That's the page I found that told me about the settings.
It appears that these settings are not global. You can check the box for
"Never ask me again", and it won't ask for that particular domain, i.e.
never again for "www.blurb.com", but it did pop up the next time I went
back to YouTube & I had to go into the settings again to check the
"Never ask me again" box for s.ytimg.com.
Looks like you have to do the Local Storage Settings individually every
time you encounter a new domain that is running flash.
