Not only that, here is something else Yahoo is doing.
This is very important information about Web "Beacons" Bugs (the real name) and
Yahoo PRIVACY Policy. (This is not directed towards email Ygroups-this is has to
do with your Yahoo ID and personal info.)
On the web site you will see in the privacy statement a reference to "Web
Beacons" you need to click on the OPT-OUT button to opt-out. If you don't Yahoo
will follow you around on the Internet tracking the sites you visit and
every thing you do and sends this info back to Yahoo for "marketing" info. This
is a Web Bug. It is not cool and it is an
invasion of your privacy, but it is still legal.
All Yahoo HTML email that you receive also includes a Web Beacon (Web Bug) this
is so they can keep track of live
email addy's and to see who is opening up the email. All Commercial and HTML
email you receive has a web bug, not
just that from Yahoo.
Here is the direct link to the Web Bug (Beacon) information. You will have to
click on the opt-out link to set the
opt-out option which is just another cookie. So if you delete your cookies you
will have to go and opt-out again.
