Yahoo To You Too

**Chief** · 12-11-2004

Not sure if this is old news, but worth noting. Sent to me this morning by one of our members. If you're a Yahoo group member, this should interest you.

Got this from one of my Yahoo Groups and
thought I would pass it on.

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.
