cross post.....web beacons.....privacy invasion

[Guest guest]

I recieved this from another group and thought I would share.

Instructions were

easy to follow. - Sheri

If you belong to any this is important...

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 website and every

group

you visit.

Take a look at their updated privacy statement:

1. http://privacy. / 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

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. It appears after you have hit the opt-out

button so is very confusing.

Feel free to forward this to others and groups
