elizabearYahoo 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. If you would like to opt out of their tracking system, here's how to do it:
Go here:
<http://privacy.yahoo.com/privacy>
In the column on the left side, under the title of "Special Topics", click "cookies".
At the bottom of this new page you will see a link that says "Click here." Click that.
On that new page click the phrase "web beacon". 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. Click it.
Then STOP. What would normally be a confirmation button on the next page will opt you back in.
