I got this from another one of my groups and thought I'd pass it

along.

If you belong to any Yahoo Groups this is important...

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:

1. http://privacy. <http://privacy. yahoo.com/ privacy>

yahoo.com/privacy

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 Yahoo

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.

Be careful because on that page there is also a

" Cancel Opt-out " button which, if clicked, will *undo* the opt-out.

Feel free to forward this to others and groups.
