Subject: e-tracking through yahoo groups

A helpful hint

Please read on. I disabled the "Web Beacon" from my work computer
today. I
will do the same on my home PC tonight.


If you belong to any yahoo Groups this is important...
Sharing a tidbit of 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:

1. http://privacy.yahoo.com/privacy
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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 *un do* the opt-out.

Feel free to forward this to other groups.
