Not *entirely* accurate, Mike. See:

http://www.allaboutcookies.org/web-beacons/

for more details, but the web bug can still gather some minimal data
without cookies being enabled. In any case, I don't think its
possible to use Yahoo groups, mail, or other stuff without logging in,
which also requires cookies.
