If you belong to ANY - be aware that is now using

" Web Beacons " to track every user. It's similar to

cookies, but allows to record every website and every group you

visit, even when you're not connected to .

 

Look at their updated privacy statement at

http://privacy./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. " On the page that opens, find a

paragraph entitled " Outside the Network. "

 

In that section find a little " Click Here to Opt Out " link that will

let you " opt-out " of their snooping. Be careful! NOT to click on the

next button shown. It is an " Opt Back In " button that, if clicked,

will UNDO the opt-out.

 

Note that '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.

 

Please forward this to your other groups. You might complain, too, but

I'm not sure if anyone is listening..

Web Beacons Igniting Controversy 's current privacy policy

is causing consternation among some users who object to their use of

so-called 'web beacons'. Known in most circles as web bugs, these

invisible images are embedded in websites and email and used to track

your surfing - and even tell whether you've opened a particular email.
