New Well, there's your answer
Yahoo's been selling their email addresses for quite some time now. Even if you opt out you can find yourself opted in again later (I've had to do it twice, but the second time seems to be sticking).

New Yes, Yahoo does use Beacons and tracking cookies
DeSitter, click on this link:
[link|http://privacy.yahoo.com/privacy/us/pixels/details.html|http://privacy.yahoo...xels/details.html]

It describes how to Opt Out of Yahoo tracking your information and selling your info to Spammers, etc.

It can track your activity outside of Yahoo pages as well. So if you visited web sites on that drug, the info got recorded by Yahoo and sold to Spammers.
