The Logic Off Topic list

I Recieved this message from another yahoo group.
I thought it may be of some interrest to those of you
concerned by
security on the web:

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.

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.
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. Feel free to forward this to
other groups.

Thanks to whoever sent this on the crystal user group.
Phil - Mtl
