Opt out of Yahoo tracking everything you do on the net

Yahoo is Tracking Group Members
If you belong to ANY Yahoo Groups – be aware that Yahoo is now using
"Web Beacons" to track every Yahoo Group user. It’s similar to
cookies, but allows Yahoo to record every website and every group
you visit, even when you’re not connected to Yahoo. Look at their
updated privacy statement at
http://info.yahoo.com/privacy/us/yahoo/details.html
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." On the page that opens, on the
left find a box entitled "Opt-Out."
In that section find "opt-out of interest-matched advertising" link
that will let you "opt-out" of their snooping. Click it and then
click the opt-out button on the next page.
Note that Yahoo’s invasion of your privacy – and your ability to opt-
out of it – is not user-specific. It is MACHINE specific. That means
you will have to opt-out on every computer (and browser) you use.
