Off topic/privacy with yahoo

["Mark Rasmus" <markrasmus@...>]

Greetings,

 

I received this email of a yahoo group yesterday. I thought I?fd post 
it here incase no-one has heard of this.

 

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/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 ?h
opt-out" of 
their new method of snooping. I strongly recommend that you do this.

Once you have clicked that link, you are opted out. Notice 
the "Success" message the top 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.

Note that you need to do this opt out action for each computer and/or
Browser that you use.

Good luck
Mark
