[prj] How to opt out of 's snooping feature

 

 

 

This applies to all

 

Dear Friends,

 

is now using something called " Web Beacons " to track

users around the net and see what you're doing and where you are going -

similar to cookies. Take a look at their updated privacy statement:

 

http://privacy./privacy/us/pixels/details.html

 

 

About half-way down the page, in the section " Outside the

Network " , you'll see a little " click here " link that will let you

" opt-out " of their new method of snooping. I strongly recommend that you

do this.

 

Click below to opt out

http://pclick./p?optout

 

Once you have clicked that link, you are opted out. Notice the " Success "

message the top the next page.

 

Do it with each one of your web browsers.

 

Be careful because on that page there is a " Cancel Opt-out " button that,

if clicked, will *undo* the opt-out.

 

Feel free to forward this to other groups.
