Guru] Cookie Karma - Web Beacons - as of possible interest

12.0pt">

font-family:"Courier New"">(received this the other day ... seems worth a look,

instructions to remedy are easy to follow - as of possible interest if

you're not into having your web movements feeding a database somewhere)

font-family:"Courier New"">Dear Fellow Members,

If you belong to ANY - be aware that is now using "Web

Beacons" to track the Internet navigation of every user. It's

similar to

cookies,

but allows to record every website and every group you visit -ANYWHERE-

on

the Internet, even when you're not connected to .

To stop this privacy invasive surveillance, go to 's updated privacy

statement at:

http://privacy./privacy

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, find a

paragraph

entitled "Outside the Network."

In that section find a little "Click Here to Opt Out" link that will

let you

"opt-out" of their snooping. Be careful (!) NOT to click the button

shown on the

resulting 'You have opted out successfully' page. It is a "Cancel

Opt-out"

button that, if clicked, will UNDO

the opt-out. Be warned!

Important:

's monitoring

-- and your ability to opt-out of it --

is NOT user-specific.

It is MACHINE -and- BROWSER specific.

***This means you will have to set the cookie to 'Opt-out' on -every- computer

and -every- browser you use to access and the rest of the Internet.

Please forward this concern to your other groups.
