privacy
forwarded fyi. for those who are on lists that are on Yahoo.
Yahoo groups and Yahoo 'tracking': are we being tracked?
Greetings All!
'You are being tracked - Urgent information for all group members: If you
belong to any yahoo Groups this is important... Sharing a tidbit of
information: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. Feel free to
forward this to other groups.
