Web beacons & privacy on yahoogroups

2002-12-05 by Colin Shapiro

Although some of you may have already seen the following
information, it will probably be new to others of you. It is
important, especially now that your privacy is being threatened on
so many fronts simultaneously. This concerns ANYONE who is either on
any Yahoo mailing list, or who is a member of Yahoo but is not on
any list . Yahoo! is now using something called "Web beacons" to
track Yahoo! users around the Internet and see what you are doing.
Seems these beacons work like cookies. Go to this URL:
http://privacy.yahoo.com/privacy/us/pixels/details.html

About halfway down the page (on the right side), in the "Outside the
Yahoo! Network" section, there is a "click here" link at the end of
the paragraph that lets you OPT OUT of their electronic snooping.
Protect your privacy. Pass this info along to all your
buddies/groups too." Also note that:

Note: This opt-out applies to a specific browser rather than a
specific user. Therefore you will have to opt-out separately from
each computer or browser that you use.

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
