Guest guest Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 Hi Suzanne, Thank you for the heads up that these bastards were tracking where I went on the internet. Yes, I did opt out. Just wonder how many others are snooping? regards, s>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Subject: Privacy: Opting Out Of The Snooping SystemI saw this on another group and I am passing the info on.Most of you probably already know this, but I thought it was worthpassing along. As always, I'm a day late and a dollar short, so this is new to me.If you belong to ANY - including this one - be aware that is now using "Web Beacons" to track every Group user. It's similar to cookies, but allows to record every website and every group you visit,even when you're not connected to .Look at their updated privacy statement at_http://privacy./privacy_(http://privacy./privacy) ..About half-way down the page, in the section oncookies, you will see a link that says WEB BEACONS.Click on the phrase "Web Beacons." On the page thatopens, find a paragraph entitled "Outside the Network."In that section find a little "Click Here to Opt Out"a link that will let you "opt-out" of their snooping. Be careful NOTto click on the next button shown. It is an "Opt Back In" button that,if clicked, will UNDO the opt-out.Note that 's invasion of your privacy - and yourability to opt-out of it - is not user-specific. It is MACHINEspecific. That means you will have to opt-out on every computer (andbrowser) you use.Please forward this to your other groups. You mightcomplain, too, but I'm not sure if anyone is listening.._____ !
