Yahoo! Is! Watching! You!
This post was published 4 years 22 days ago which may make its actuality or expire date not be valid anymore. This site is not responsible for any misunderstanding.Spring cleaning is just around the corner, and this serves as our yearly reminder to clean your cookies!
Yahoo is using something called “Web beacons” or a “super cookie” that tracks not only where its users go on the Yahoo network but also tracks where they go outside of the Yahoo network using a persistent file on the hard drive. Note that you have to have a Yahoo account to be tracked. If you want to opt-out of this tracking, log in to your Yahoo account, then go to privacy yahoo.com/privacy.
Once you have clicked that link, you are exempted.
Notice the “Success” message on the top of the next page. Be careful because on that page there is a “Cancel Opt-out” button that, if clicked, will *undo** the opt-out.
Also a couple years old, but still a good reminder..
Yes old but this is only the case for the one computer and only for as long as that cookie stays on it.
