I got that too - a Flickr page?

Yes, it's from flickr and I wasn't aware that it was closed to the public. Sorry.

Here is the meat of the story.

If you belong to ANY Yahoo Group - be aware that Yahoo is now using "Web Beacons" to track the Internet navigation of every Yahoo user. It's similar to cookies, but allows Yahoo to record every website And every group you visit -ANYWHERE- on the Internet, even when you're Not connected to Yahoo.

To stop this privacy invasive surveillance, go to Yahoo's updated privacy statement at:

info.yahoo.com/privacy/us/yahoo/webbeacons/details.html

In the section marked Outside the Yahoo Network click the hyperlinked: Click here, to opt out. Note what is says about different computers AND different Web Browsers, if you use different ones.
