Store values in client computer permanently?

Question

Is there a way to store values on client side permanently?

I have a site, flash game (the game is not developed by me, of course), after you registered, it will recognize you even after u close browser, clear cache and cookies, and even restart computer and modem. Where do they store the values? Why the flash game can recognize me after few days?

After research in google, I still cant get the answer. My guess is, is it stored in my computer RAM? How could it possible? If my guess is true, how do we store values in RAM??

FYI:

The flash game is created in : AS3

Answer 1

RAM is not perisistent with reboots. So its not possible to remember anything stored in RAM even after a single reboot. I have read about something called "Local Shared Objects" which are a bit more than the normal ones. Clearing normal caches/cookies wont clear them away.

Answer 2

It's probably stored on the server, and the client is recognised by IP address and maybe also browser id string.

Answer 3

Maybe it's a Flash Cookie?

Answer 4

Can't store in RAM if you're saying that it remembers you after reboot.

Your modem have an IP and also another ID which can be in this form:

c9067688.static.spo.virtua.com.br

Maybe it's taking this ID...

Answer 5

the game recognizes you only after logging in to the site or just open the url..??

if it recognizes you after login, then its probably stored it in a server.
