If you have been working with the HTML control when building an Adobe AIR application you may be wondering how to clear its cookies.

Arul Prasad posted an article in his blog about this issue. If you look at the comments, Mike Chambers sheds some light on the situation:

"AIR picks up cookie settings from the operating system, and not the browser. It just happens though that some browsers also use the operating system settings / cookies."

So it looks like IE is one of those browsers that happens to use the operating system cookies. From my testing Firefox appears to have its own separate cookies.

If you want to clear your cookies in Adobe AIR then the best way I know of at this time is to clear your cookies in Internet Explorer. I really hope that the AIR team figures out a better way of handling this that doesn't put AIR at the merci of Internet Explorer.
