Yahoo is using a cookie called Web Beacons to track your movements on the internet.

Here in their privacy statement you are allowed to opt out of having Web Beacons installed on your computer. Watch out as you do so because they very sneakily try and trick you into undoing your opt out.

I have no experience yet with whether this effects your ease of use of Yahoo products. I'll try and remember to post a followup one way or the other.
