It is a simple click to Opt OUT, if you follow the below instructions:
Yahoo is Tracking Group Members

If you belong to ANY Yahoo Groups - be aware that Yahoo is now using "Web
Beacons" to track every Yahoo Group user. It's similar to cookies, but
allows Yahoo to record every website and every group you visit, even when
you're not connected to Yahoo.

Look at their updated privacy statement at http://info.yahoo.com/privacy/us/yahoo/details Html

About half-way down the page, in the section on cookies, you will see a link
that says WEB BEACONS.
Click on the phrase "Web Beacons." On the page that opens, on the left- hand
a box entitled "Opt-Out.".
In that section find "opt-out of interest-matched advertising" link that
will let you "opt-out" of their snooping. Click it and then click the
opt-out button on the next page.

Note that Yahoo's invasion of your privacy - and your ability to opt-out of
it - is not user-specific. It is MACHINE specific. That means you will have
to opt- out on every computer (and browser) you use.
Please forward this to your other groups. You might complain, too, but I'm
not sure if anyone is listening. I remember when they signed all users up
to get spam and we had to opt out of that a few years ago.
