Yahoo is now using a thing it calls 'Web Beacons' to track users surfing habits even when they are not on a Yahoo site. If you use Yahoo groups or Yahoo mail then Yahoo is tracking every website and group you visit. Check out their updated privacy policy. About halfway down the page in the section titled cookies they make mention of Web Beacons. Click the link and halfway down the next page is a link to opt-out. This takes you to a 'success' page which informs you that you have opted-out successfully. DON'T click the button on that page as that will undo what you have just done (a nice trick to catch out those users in to much of a hurry to read.) Thanks to Eccentricity and Slyblog for the heads up.
