Yahoo "Web Beacons"   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #238 of 294 |
I got this from another Group:

"Hi folks,

In case you are interested in protecting you online privacy:
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. Yahoo is recording
every website and every group you visit. Take a look at their
updated privacy statement:
http://privacy.yahoo.com/privacy http://privacy.yahoo.com/privacy

About half-way down the page, in the section on cookies,
you will see a link that says web beacons.
Click on the phrase "web beacons":
http://privacy.yahoo.com/privacy/us/beacons/details.html

That will bring you to a paragraph entitled "Outside the Yahoo
Network." In this section you'll see a little "click here to opt out"
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 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."
