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."
