Yahoo Web Beacons information

[Guest guest]

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. Take a look at their updated privacy statement:

http://privacy.yahoo.com/privacy/us/pixels/details.html

About half-way down the page, in the section " Outside the Yahoo!

Network " , you'll see a little " click here " link that will let you

" opt-out " of their new method of snooping.

Once you have clicked that link, you are opted out. Notice the " Success "

message the top 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.

Also, on the left side side there is a section called " Assistence " . In

that section, there is a link " Marketing Preferences " . Click on it and

you will be able to choose to NOT receive " offers from 3rd parties

delivered by Yahoo " and direct offers from Yahoo. Choosing to NOT

receive this will cut down on your *junk* mail.
