Guest guest Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 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: click Yahoo! Privacy 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
