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
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
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.

1 AnswerSecurity1 decade agoHow can someone post long answers quickly?
How can someone post an answer that reads like a book and do it in under a minute? Do you think it's fair that they get to be top contributors by copying and pasting such pre-written responses.Or that they report other responses that don't agree with theirs.People naturally give top contributors answers more credence without realizing that it is not written in direct response to their question. Read this post from RecentCoin2000 It was posted in under 4 minutes.
