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. Notice that they did not alert you to this snooping, but
they
hoped you wouldn't find out about it.

Take a look at their updated privacy statement:

http://privacy.yahoo.com/privacy

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.

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 that
will let you "opt-out" of their new method of snooping.

Once you have clicked that link, you are exempted.

WARNING: Notice the "Success" message on the top of the next page. Be
careful because on that page there is a "Cancel Opt-out" button that,
if
clicked, will undo the opt-out. Don't be fooled by it. These guys are
trying very hard to gain information with or without your cooperation.

Please pass this along to any other Yahoo groups you might be members
of.

Uhhhh, don't look now, but that's sop almost everywhere. Even
your post is available online already, should anyone want to look
for your name, title, etc.. All you can do is use safe hex and
common sense. Maybe you think credit card companies, Sears, DMV,
etc etc etc don't do similar things? AND have more of your
personal info they spread out to third parties? I wouldn't waste
my time.

Most of the Spyware programs that are supposed to protect you actually
tag your computer as well.

Got any evidence to back that up?

How about familiarizing yourself THOROUGHLY with the cookie controls for
your particular browser? You can control pretty much anything you want.

Stormin , today and after 9-11, everything you do is recorded. If you
dont like it stay off the internet, dont use credit cards, dont call
anyone, be a hermit. You can always be tracked and your history made
avalaible to law enforcement.
