HEADS UP Yahoo users.

Yahoo is Tracking Group Members

If you belong to ANY Yahoo Groups - be aware that Yahoo is now using "Web
Beacons" to track every Yahoo Group user. It's similar to cookies, but
allows Yahoo to record every website and every group you visit, even when
you're not connected to Yahoo.

Look at their updated privacy statement at
http://info.yahoo.com/privacy/us/yahoo/details.html

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." On the page that
opens, on the left find a box entitled "Opt-Out.". In that section find
"opt-out of interest-matched advertising" link that will let you "opt-out"
of their snooping. Click it and then click the opt-out button on the next
page. Note that Yahoo's invasion of your privacy - and your ability to
opt-out of it - is not user-specific. It is MACHINE specific. That means you
will have to opt-out on every computer (and browser) you use. Please forward
this to your other groups. You might complain, too, but I'm not sure if
anyone is listening. I remember when they signed all users up to get spam
and we had to opt out of that a few years ago.
Please send this to anyone or any group you would like.
