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 "Cancel Opt-out" button that, if clicked, will *undo** the opt-out.

Feel free to forward this to other groups.

Yahoo is recording every website and every group you visit.

Cheers Bob,similar subject,I`ve been banging on for years that the main reason Bliar is so keen to get everyone using the net is that it`s so easy to snoop on those that do.My mate`s Dad works at the spy-station in Bude doing exactly that.Before Kiwis think they`ve got off your government has a place in Nelson doing exactly the same thing.

My mate`s Dad works at the spy-station in Bude

Bude is a satellite intercept station, they don't process anything there. The real work is done is Menwith Hill in Yorkshire and GCHQ. Alledgedly. :shifty:
