OT: Privacy Warning About Yahoo

[Guest guest]

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

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. 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.
