Groups and privacy

[Guest guest]

If you belong to any (like the group in which you are

reading this), - it is important that you read the following:

is now using something called " Web Beacons " to track Group

users around the net and see what you're doing and where you are going

(similar to Cookies.)

is recording every web site and every group you visit.

Take a look at their updated privacy statement by clicking link 1.) :

1.) http://info./privacy/us//details.html

2.) 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 " .

3.) That will bring you to a paragraph entitled " Outside the

Network " .

In this section you'll see a little " click here to opt out " link which

will let you " opt-out " of their new method of snooping.

4.) Once you have clicked that link, you are exempted.

Notice the " Success " message on the top of the next page.

Also Note: Be careful because on that page there is also a " Cancel

Opt-out " button, which appears on the very next screen to pop up, and,

if clicked, will *undo* the opt-out. DO NOT CLICK THE CANCEL OPT-OUT

button. It appears after you have hit the opt-out button so is very

confusing.

[FURTHER NOTE]: According to , this " OPT OUT " proceedure must be

done on EVERY computer that you use

and for each different browser that you use.

If you use Mozilla Firefox AND microsoft Internet Explorer on a

computer, you'll need to do it once from each, and you'll need to do

it on your home AND any work computers, separately.
