+Store user data in the equivalent of a cookie
+
+Web browsers often store small amounts of data on a user's computer in a "cookie", a set of one or more name-value pairs in text. This information can be useful for session management and customizing the UI to match the user's needs and interests. Cookies have a bit of a bad name, though, because many applications and websites also use them for tracking user behavior and recording data the application really does not need in order to function.
+
+Instead of using cookies, your Royale application can use Local Shared Objects to store data on a user's computer. Local Shared Objects 
+
+* can store up to 100 kb of data without asking the user's permission, much more than a cookie (4 kb).
+* can store not only text values, but Number, String, Boolean, XML, Date, Array and Object name-value pairs.
+* can even store instances of a custom class, if the class is registered using the _RemoteCass_ -metadata tag.
+* have whatever name you give them, with the _.sol_ file type

+
+## Delete a Local Shared Object
+
+Use the _clear()_ method (``` public function clear():void ```) to delete a Local Shared Object and erase its data. If the Local Shared Object's name is "loginInfo", we could clear and delete it like this:
+
+```
+var so:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("loginInfo");
+so.clear();
+```
