Guest guest Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 It is a simple click to Opt OUT, if you follow the below instructions:Yahoo is Tracking Group MembersIf you belong to ANY Yahoo Groups - be aware that Yahoo is now using "WebBeacons" to track every Yahoo Group user. It's similar to cookies, butallows Yahoo to record every website and every group you visit, even whenyou're not connected to Yahoo.Look at their updated privacy statement athttp://info.yahoo.com/privacy/us/yahoo/detailsHtmlAbout half-way down the page, in the section on cookies, you will see a linkthat says WEB BEACONS.Click on the phrase "Web Beacons." On the page that opens, on the left- handa box entitled "Opt-Out.".In that section find "opt-out of interest-matched advertising" link thatwill let you "opt-out" of their snooping. Click it and then click theopt-out button on the next page.Note that Yahoo's invasion of your privacy - and your ability to opt-out ofit - is not user-specific. It is MACHINE specific. That means you will haveto opt- out on every computer (and browser) you use.Please forward this to your other groups. You might complain, too, but I'mnot sure if anyone is listening. I remember when they signed all users upto get spam and we had to opt out of that a few years ago.
