Take a look at this site: http://privacy./privacy/us/pixels/details.html About halfway down the page, in the " Outside the Network " section, there is a tiny little (click here) link that lets you opt-out of their electronic snooping. <end snip> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 11, 2002 Report Share Posted November 11, 2002 Good eye, and thanks for the info. Not that I have anything to hide, but what an invasion of privacy! And also, be careful when trying to " opt out'. When you do opt out, they put up ANOTHER button that says " to CANCEL your opt out, hit this button " . If you're not really paying attention, you'll automatically hit it thinking it will CONFIRM your decision, not cancel it. vegan-network, " Graham Burnett " <grahamburnett@b...> wrote: > From another list..... > > --- > > Just thought everyone should know about this. > > <snip from another email> > is now using something called " Web Beacons " to track Groups users > around the net & see what you are doing. ...seems these beacons work just > like cookies...... > > Take a look at this site: > http://privacy./privacy/us/pixels/details.html > > About halfway down the page, in the " Outside the Network " section, > there is a tiny little (click here) link that lets you opt-out of their > electronic snooping. > <end snip> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
