| − | | |
| − | It was noted around January 24, 2015,<sup>[[#cite_note-3|[3]]]</sup> that the site uses undisclosed affiliate links in an article<sup>[[#cite_note-4|[4]]]</sup> as well as using Skimlinks as a referral service<sup>[[#cite_note-5|[5]]][[#cite_note-6|[6]]]</sup> which is a clear violation of [[index.php?title=Comprehensive_Mailing_List#Media_Standards_Agencies|FTC]] rules and should be reported.<sup>[[#cite_note-7|[7]]]</sup> Furthermore, their current FAQ on disclosure<sup>[[#cite_note-8|[8]]]</sup> doesn't meet FTC (minimum) guidelines, and the site has no mention about cookies in their ethics statement.<sup>[[#cite_note-9|[9]]]</sup>
