Recent FF / IW (from v4) natively clear Flash cookies:

"Also on 5 January 2011, Adobe Systems, Google Inc., and Mozilla
Foundation finalized a new browser API (dubbed NPAPI ClearSiteData).
This will allow browsers implementing the API to clear local shared
objects.[11] Four months later, Adobe announced that Flash Player 10.3
enables Mozilla Firefox 4 and "future releases of Apple Safari and
Google Chrome" to delete local shared objects,[10] so since version 4,
Firefox treats LSOs the same way as HTTP cookies - deletion rules that
previously applied only to HTTP cookies now also apply to LSOs."

Nope - BetterPrivacy allows the designation of exceptions:

Q: How to exclude certain LSOs from automatic deletion?

A: Go to BetterPrivacy's options (Firefox tools menu), LSO-manager tab,
select the site/cookie folder you want to exclude and press 'Prevent
automatic LSO deletion'. Note that you allow tracking with every
excluded LSO. Important: Protection means those LSO's are excluded from
BetterPrivacy's deletion but the owner web site still can delete them
as well as any other programs you might have running!
