That's up to you.

Flash has 'cookies & data storage' that can store info to make pages load faster & keep track of what sites you use, what adverts you click etc. If you disallow them there is a chance that some sites will run slower, or they won't give you targeted ads or remember your place inside a Flash website or video. Chances are they already use normal cookies to do most of the tracking they need.
Video can play smoother if you allow some local caching, but that also means the site could be saving tracking details etc.

You can see the saved sites via …
