ATTN: Yahoo Users and Yahoo Group Members - Important!
I recently received this info and I successfully opted out

Just thought I'd share, in case you dont want to be tracked.

This is a onetime post and I will NOT be reposting.. I apologize if I
violated any posting rules, just thought all Yahoo Group members had
a right to know.



~~~~~~~~~

If you belong to any Yahoo Groups this is important information:

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 <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.

This link is a direct link to their privacy statement and will also
allow you to adjust any other options you wish to have or not to
have.
