Re: OT: Privacy Warning About Yahoo

Carol,

When I look at the section on cookies, I didn't see the opt-out link. I even

searched on " opt-out " and didn't find it. Could the words be something else?

After cookies, web browsers and after indicate you want out, the last option is

to reverse

opt out. it means opting out of not being in that yahoo search.

Look for the words " click here. " they are followed by a final step giving you

the choice of

reversing your decision by clicking on " opt out. " if you do that you will be

back in their

clutches so don't.
