Guest guest Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 If you belong to ANY Yahoo! Groups (you do as you are reading this) - be aware that Yahoo! is now using " Web Beacons " to track every Yahoo! Group user. They're similar to cookies, but allow Yahoo! to record every Web site and every group you visit, even when you're not connected to Yahoo!. Look at its updated privacy statement regarding " Web Beacons " http://privacy.yahoo.com/privacy/us/beacons/details.html In that section find a little " Click Here to Opt Out " link that will let you " opt-out " of its snooping. Be careful NOT to click on the next button shown. It is an " Opt Back In " button that, if clicked, will UNDO the opt-out. Note that Yahoo!'s invasion of your privacy - and your ability to opt-out of it - is not user-specific. It is MACHINE specific. That means you will have to opt-out on every computer (and browser) you use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
