From: "DDN" Assalaamu`Alaykum wa Rahmatullaahi wa Barakaatuhu Dear Brothers and Sisters, Yahoo 'Web Beacons' Spy On And Track Yahoo Users!
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 are not connected to Yahoo. Please take a look at their updated privacy statement at: http://privacy.yahoo.com/privacy/us/beacons/details.html or this link: http://info.yahoo.com/privacy/us/yahoo/webbeacons/details.html About half-way down the page, on the left-side, is a box entitled "Opt-Out". In that section, click on the "opt-out of interest-matched advertising" link that will let you "opt-out" of their new method of snooping. Click the link and then click the "opt-out" button on the next page. Once you have clicked that link, you are exempted. Be careful because once you have clicked "opt-out", there will appear an "opt-in" button that, if clicked, will undo the opt-out. So don't reflexively click that button, or you will undo the opt-out! 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 and group members. Fee Amaanillaah, Your sister K a r i m a DDN Happy Holidays from Yahoo! Messenger. Spread holiday cheers to your friends and loved ones today!
