Fw: Yahoo Tracking: Opt-out chance   Message List

FROM ANOTHER GROUP:

<sorry for any cross-posts>
I got this from another group but thought it should be passed on:

Yahoo seems to have a new way - or another way to track users even when not logged in - to customize the ads wer see.  If you would like to opt-out of this "service" you would need to do it on each computer you use.

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

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.
