Jerry,
The firts time I heard about beacons was in 2005. Things are explained there. I should say hidden there... http://info.yahoo.com/privacy/us/yahoo/webbeacons/ It's seems that Yahoo has removed the opt-out link. So go to the NAI link below and select all then submit. http://networkadvertising.org/ In this page you should see the status : You are currently opted out http://info.yahoo.com/privacy/us/yahoo/opt_out/targeting/details.html Some explainations given by a MVP. http://msmvps.com/blogs/harrywaldron/archive/2005/03/09/38006.aspx Best regards Jerry Gress a écrit : > > Hello All, > > On a different forum received the below info on cookie tracking, both > my internet computers had “Web Beacons” Opt On (now off), might be of > interest to others. > > ///////////////////////////////// > > I just received this post on the internet satellite forum and went > into Yahoo to verify it is valid.... and it is.
