This is old news to some but here's the scoop:
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.
