is Tracking Group Members

[Guest guest]

Thank you for the information, I take pride in keeping my pc clean and I despise

tracking cookies. I opted out and never would have known it was putting

all this on my computer. I run spybot and every day I have a mess to clean up.

Now I know who was doing it. I wonder if this would be a good time to post a

question on answers and see how others feel about it. Thanks again for the

information.

Does blocking cookies prevent this? I block everything except for " session "

cookies.

Yah but the last time I did that I had nothing but havoc on my computer for

some reason. It was a living hell. Totally screwed up my configuration,

got a HUGE virus and lots of other strange things went on..

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. <http://privacy./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. http://antivirus.
