Something you might like to know about: > Subject: Yahoo is tracking its users and you can opt out of the tracking > > 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. > 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 opted out. > 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. > Yahoo is recording every website and every group you visit. ~~~ now ... i had already done this but thought i had better check. good thing as i found this little spiel: -------------------------------------------------------- Note: This opt-out applies to a specific browser rather than a specific user. Therefore you will have to opt-out separately from each computer or browser that you use. ------------------------------------------------------- so all you new Firefoxers take note. -ts- ------------------------ Yahoo!
