Where does flash cookie store on Mac?

Question

Where does flash cookie store on Mac? I searched this question in google. Some people say the flash cookie is a .sol file stored in folder /User’s Home Folder/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/. But I cannot find this file/folder on my mac. Where is it? Could someone kindly tell me how to find it. Thanks.

They're stored in ~/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/#SharedObjects/<some random string>/, and then you'll have subfolders for each domain name. For Google Chrome, the path is ~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/Pepper Data/Shockwave Flash/WritableRoot/#SharedObjects/<some random string>/ instead.

Note that on Mac OS X Lion, the Library folder is hidden, you need to open it using the "Go To" menu in Finder or via Terminal.
