I got this from Cheris newsletter:
This does work and is true.
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/us/mail/
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 "Clickhere." 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.
You might pass it on to other Yahoo groups you're a member of. but please look at the lists that I've sent it to in this message so we don't have
several hundred of these on the same lists....
****** END ****
I'm not sure how many of you use Yahoo, but I have at least three profiles I use for different projects. It's nice to have this information.
