I looked at Adobe Flash Player Preferences and it was set to "Allow
sites to save information on this computer", but I couldn't recognize
any of the domains listed in Local Storage Settings, nor did I find
any connection to third parties that try to load ads on some of the
pages I was seeing this issue. Would this setting work even with flash
disabled? I can't think of any other "whitelist".
In any case, should SELinux keep blocking those attempts? I can't
remember having any problems on sites that required me to enable flash
(and I don't think I saw any SELinux warnings on such sites).

Best regards
