For anyone who uses yahoo's services

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

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 tha/t 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.

 

Thanks for the heads up.

 

Sweet ... not that i go many places on the web.... but cool

 

That's kinda odd... I supposedly opted-out, yet I'm not even signed in...

 

ty~* Can't be too safe.

Thanks dude!

 

Hey thanks hippyman!

 

Yes that is greatly appreciated. I probably wouldn't have even seen that coming. I've been noticing an increase in spam, but Yahoo! was quick to add it to their spam controller, or whatever. I figured it was from Excite, I have to kill their cookies every time I check the store's webmail. Just goes to show you still can't trust the establishment :/

 

Oh my goodness! Thanks!

 

YOU give GOOD "Instruction". Thanks for the heads up!
