Hi all,
I found this on one of the other groups that I am a member of.
I did opt out it only takes a minute.
Just an FYI for all of you using any Yahoo groups.
For your 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> 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.
