That’s good for sure, but the “monitoring” methods that we all have been far too familiar with in the last couple of years have been renewed with this move also. Yahoo! is now keeping track of which sites its members that are getting into groups or using Yahoo! services are visiting and storing this data with a method called “Web Beacons”. The aim is to give these statistics to the partner companies arranged by agreement and to improve the “advertisement guiding” function.
However, those who are bothered by this and do not want to be kept track of have still a choice. Yahoo! has hidden this option way deep inside somewhere. I’m declaring it here in case there are people who want it anyway.
1) Go to
http://privacy.yahoo.com/privacy
2) Click on “Topics” tab.
3) Click on “Web Beacons”
4) On the left-hand side, click on “opt-out of interest-matched advertising”
5) Then, finally click on Opt-out and you are done…
thanks dada great info…done it
