I just got this message from one of my yahoo groups administrators....thought you might want to know about it!
************************
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.
Take a look at their updated privacy statement:
http://privacy.yahoo.com/privacy/us/pixels/details.html
About half-way down the page, in the section "Outside the Yahoo!
Network", you'll see a little "click here" link that will let
you "opt-out" of their new method of snooping. I strongly recommend
that you do this.
Once you have clicked that link, you are opted out. Notice
the "Success" message the top the next page.
Be careful because on that page there is a
"CancelOpt-out" button that, if clicked, will *undo* the opt-out.
Feel free to forward this to other groups.
This is something NEW, not the regular stuff where you just check the
boxes.
