Opt Out Of Yahoo Web Snooping

[Guest guest]

Just an FYI for all of you using any Yahoo groups.

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.
