OT!! Yahoo Snppoing Tactics

[Guest guest]

Dear Group,

This just came to my attention. I chose to " opt out " . I don't like the

idea of anyone knowing what websites I visit.

*****

Subject: YAHOO SNOOPING TACTICS...

'Yahoo is now using something called " Web Beacons " to track Yahoo

Group users around the net and see what you're doing and where you

are going - similar to cookies. Yahoo is recording every website and

every group you visit.

Take a look at their updated privacy statement:

http://privacy.yahoo.com/privacy

About half-way down the page, in the section on cookies, you

will see a link that says " web beacons " . Click on the phrase " web

beacons " . That will bring you to a paragraph entitled " Outside the

Yahoo Network. " In this section you'll see a little " click here to

opt out " link that will let you " opt-out " of their new method of

snooping. Once you have clicked that link, you are exempted.

Notice the " Success " message on the top of the next page. Be

careful because on that page there is a " Cancel Opt-out " button

that, if clicked, will *undo** the opt-out.

Feel free to forward this to other groups.'
