You may want to take note of this….



If you belong to any YahooGroups this is important...


Yahoo is now using something called "Web Beacons" to track Yahoo Group
users around the net and see what you're doing and where you are going
(similar to cookies.) Yahoo is recording every website and every group
you visit. Take a look at their updated privacy statement:


1. http://privacy.yahoo.com/privacy <http://privacy.yahoo.com/privacy>


2. 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".


3. 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 which will let you "opt-out" of their new method of snooping.


4. 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 also a "Cancel Opt-out" button which, if clicked,
will *undo* the opt-out. It appears after you have hit the opt-out
button so is very confusing.
