[s-cars] yahoo email info

Found this info thought I should share it.


As you all may know, Yahoo! upgraded its features and the capacities of
the mail accounts have grown to 250 MB. That's cool but the
"monitoring" methods that we all have been far too familiar with in the
last couple of years have been renewed with this move also. 

Yahoo! is now keeping track of which sites its members that are getting
into groups or using Yahoo! services are visiting and storing this data
with a method called "Web Beacons". 

The aim is to give these statistics to the partner companies arranged
by agreement and to improve the "advertisement guiding" function. 

Those who are bothered by this and do not want to be kept track of have
still a choice. Yahoo! has hidden this option way deep inside somewhere
but I'm declaring it here in case there are people who want it anyway: 
1. Go to the address 

//http://privacy.yahoo.com/privacy 

and click the "Cookies" link under the "Special Topics" column. 
2. Click the "Web Beacons" link under the "Reference Links" Column. 
3. On this page, click the "click here to opt out" link toward the end
of the third paragraph in the middle page under the "Outside the Yahoo!
Network" title. 
4. After a while, a page that says you have been out of the monitoring
program will load. Without doing anything, close that page or continue
your usual surfing by typing another address in the address bar. (Do
NOT click the "Cancel Opt-out" button, your action will be cancelled!) 
5. You're done! Now Yahoo! will not record what you're doing during surfing.
