Dr. Bob - Yahoo privacy issue

Posted by Minnie-Haha on May 19, 2005, at 13:38:15

I just heard about this and checked it out and it's true. Since your site has links to Yahoo pages, I thought you might want to notify other Babblers. About halfway down the page, there is a link to opt-out of what Yahoo calls web beacons (new to me). Once you click it, you are exempted (opted-out).

Notice the "Success" message on the top of the page after you click the opt-out link. BE CAREFUL because on that page there is a "Cancel Opt-out" button that, if clicked, will **undo** the opt-out. So don't reflexively click that button, or you will undo the opt-out! (Pretty darn sneaky on Yahoo’s part, if you ask me.)
