How to opt out of tracking.







PLEASE READ

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 web site 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>
http://info. yahoo.Com/ privacy/us/ yahoo/ details.HTML

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.



I am adding the link for you to opt out at



<http://info.yahoo.com/privacy/us/yahoo/opt_out/targeting/details.HTML>
http://info. yahoo.com/ privacy/ us/yahoo/ opt_out/targetin g/details. HTML



REMEMBER TO DO THIS FOR ALL BROWSERS THAT YOU USE!



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.

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.
