Here’s Yahoo’s privacy policy regarding so-called web bugs (or as they call them “web beacons”)<\/a> – these are the little 1×1 images that web sites use to keep track of where you’re going.\n Halfway down the page (at least as of the time I wrote this, which is not the same as the time this gets posted since I write stuff in advance…) in the section “Outside the Yahoo! Network” there is a link to opt out of sharing the information with companies outside the Yahoo! Network.\n Maybe it’s time to start surfing with images off again, or perhaps somebody can write a plug-in that blocks all 1×1 images.<\/p>\n
