> where you are
> going - similar to cookies. Yahoo is recording every

> 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":

http://privacy.yahoo.com/privacy/us/beacons/details.html
>
> 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.

> Feel free to forward this to other groups."
