>From a recent post on thedvdforums:

Yahoo! "Web Beacons" - you need to click on the OPT-OUT button to
opt-out (on each computer you use). If you don't Yahoo will follow
you around on the Internet tracking the sites you visit and every
thing you do and sends this info back to Yahoo for "marketing"
info.

A simple click and I have opted out. It seems like this is now
pretty common practice so I'm sure there are other sites/cookies I
have on my machines that do the same :-(
