Subj: [DobermanDiaries] Opt Out of Web Beacons!!


Passing this info to Yahoo Group Members: Just writing to give everyone  who 
belongs to any Yahoo Group, a heads up to 'opt out' of Yahoo Groups  tracking 
your every move on the internet, if you  so choose. Please pass  along.
 
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 website and every group you visit, even when you're not  
connected to Yahoo. Look at their updated privacy statement at 
_http://privacy.http://prihttp://_ (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." On the page  that 
opens, find a paragraph entitled "Outside the Yahoo Network." To the left  of 
that section find a little "Click Here to Opt Out" link (given below) that  
will let you "opt-out" of their snooping.

_http://info.http://infhttp://infohttp://infhttp://info.<Whttp://info._ 
(http://info.yahoo.com/privacy/us/yahoo/opt_out/targeting/details.html) 

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. Please forward this to  your 
other groups. You might complain, too, but I'm not sure if anyone is  
listening..

Yahoo Web Beacons Igniting Controversy Yahoo's current privacy policy is  
causing consternation among some users who object to their use of so-called  'web 
beacons'. Known in most circles as web bugs, these invisible images are  
embedded in websites and email and used to track your surfing - and even tell  
whether you've opened...
