Take a look at this site: http://privacy./privacy/us/pixels/details.html About halfway down the page, in the " Outside the Network " section, there is a tiny little (click here) link that lets you opt-out of their electronic snooping. <end snip> Quote
Guest guest Posted November 11, 2002 Report Posted November 11, 2002 Good eye, and thanks for the info. Not that I have anything to hide, but what an invasion of privacy! And also, be careful when trying to " opt out'. When you do opt out, they put up ANOTHER button that says " to CANCEL your opt out, hit this button " . If you're not really paying attention, you'll automatically hit it thinking it will CONFIRM your decision, not cancel it. vegan-network, " Graham Burnett " <grahamburnett@b...> wrote: > From another list..... > > --- > > Just thought everyone should know about this. > > <snip from another email> > is now using something called " Web Beacons " to track Groups users > around the net & see what you are doing. ...seems these beacons work just > like cookies...... > > Take a look at this site: > http://privacy./privacy/us/pixels/details.html > > About halfway down the page, in the " Outside the Network " section, > there is a tiny little (click here) link that lets you opt-out of their > electronic snooping. > <end snip> Quote
