Guest guest Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 is Tracking Group Members 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://info./privacy/us//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 '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. I remember when they signed all users up to get spam and we had to opt out of that a few years ago. Please send this to anyone or any group you would like.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 The bad thing is--I KEEP opting out. Once you do it, if you change anything, they put you back into the opt in, so you have to go and change it again to opt out. I haven't seen a rhyme or reason yet. Maybe just logging out of ? Or adding a new group to your list? Dunno, but this is the third time I've had to opt out. Samala, Renee ---- Thank you, Bob! I have opted-out, thanks to your clear instructions.
