web beacons for Yahoogroups members
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. 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.
