Yahoo is
Tracking Group Members
If you belong to ANY Yahoo Groups - be aware that Yahoo is now using "Web
Beacons" to track every Yahoo Group user. It's similar to
cookies, but allows Yahoo to record every website and every group you
visit, even when you're not connected to Yahoo.
Look at their updated privacy statement at
http://info. yahoo.com/ privacy/us/ yahoo/details. html
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." On the page
that opens, on the left find a box entitled "Opt-Out." In that section find
"opt-out of interest-matched advertising" link that will let you "opt-out"
of their snooping. Click it and then click the opt-out button on the next
page. Note that Yahoo's invasion of your privacy - and your ability to opt-
out of it - is not user-specific. It is MACHINE specific. That means
you will have to opt-out on every computer (and browser) you use. Please
forward this to your other groups. You might complain, too,
but I'm not sure if anyone is listening. I remember when they signed all
users up to get spam and we had to opt out of that a few years
ago.
