Yahoo is now using something called, "Web Beacons" to track
Yahoo Group users around the Net and see what you're doing
and where you are going - similar to cookies.
[snip]

A follow-up to this - You must have cookies enabled for the opt-out
function to work. Also, unless you want to re-do the opt-out
procedure each time you go online, you must not delete the Yahoo
cookie. Yahoo has become a bit of a PITA.

If you don't have cookies enabled, the "beacon" won't work anyway, so
there's nothing to opt-out of.
