Yahoo Web Beacons Opt Out Instructions

[Guest guest]

Hi EveryOne,

It only takes a moment to opt out of allowing Yahoo to track you once you

visit Yahoo. Just go to:

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. I strongly recommend that you do this. It takes less

than a mintute! 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.

If you use more than one browser to visit you will need to opt

out with each browser you use............

Hello,

If you are at all concerned with people knowing where you go or what you do

Yahoo can track us and see what kind of sites we are looking at!!

BUT, ALSO HOW TO OPT OUT OF IT!! Which I did, first thing!

Here's how....

" 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:

this to other groups. Of course, if you don't mind Yahoo recording every website

and every group you visit you should ignore this message.
