Hold on. The setting is called “keep local data only until you quit your browser”. Not “local cookies”. And that’s always how I expected it to work. If it preserves data from web storage or others than this is either a massive fuck up or a disingenuous placebo setting.

I believe handling of Flash cookies is completely outside the browser.

Flash is bundled with and sandboxed by Chrome.

Isn't local data a superset of local cookies?
