Yahoo Privacy Policy

Warning on Yahoo Boards:

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 info.yahoo.com

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  and BROWSER  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."
