-Caveat Lector- ------- Forwarded message follows ------- To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date sent: Wed, 8 Jan 2003 14:53:05 EST Subject: !b_a_Act: Privacy Alert for YAHOO + groups users
Yahoo is now using something called "Web Beacons" to track Yahoo Group users around the net and see what you're doing - similar to cookies. Take a look at their updated privacy statement: http://privacy.yahoo.com/privacy/us/pixels/details.html About half-way down the page, in the section "Outside the Yahoo! Network", you'll see a little "click here" link that will let you opt-out of their new method of snooping. I recommend doing this. Once you have clicked that link, you are opted out. Notice the "Success" message at 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. You are now done, and will receive less junk mail. If you want to prevent Yahoo from spamming you or selling your personal information, you can ALSO update your account preferences at this address Which will show you as opted out if you performed the funcion at the beginning of this email. http://subscribe.yahoo.com/showaccount Yahoo Group users may want to check this out. Yahoo users please note - new cyber snooping measures in place Anyone who is in a Yahoo group needs to read this. Yahoo may be taking advantage of the new Homeland Security measures set up for ISPs to Monitor the net....At least for now Yahoo has an "Opt Out" of their "Web Beacons" Trackers. This has been posted (note that you must opt out on every browser you use with Yahoo): ------------------------------------------------------ ------- End of forwarded message ------- -------------------------------------- Steve Wingate ANOMALOUS IMAGES AND UFO FILES http://www.anomalous-images.com <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/";>www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
