Guest guest Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 Subject: Yahoo Groups New Policy UpdateYahoo Groups New Policy UpdateIf you belong to any yahoo Groups this is important...Yahoo is now using something called "Web Beacons" totrack Yahoo Group users around the net and see what you're doingand where you are going--similar to cookies. Yahoo is recording everywebsite and every group you visit. Take a look at their updated privacy statement:http://privacy.yahoo.com/privacyAbout half-way down the page, in the section oncookies, you will see a link that says web beacons.Click on the phrase web beacons. That will bring youto a paragraphentitled "Outside the Yahoo Network."In this section you'll see a little "click here to optout" 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 nextpage. 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.
