I'm not sure if it's happened just recently either with my AdBlocker, or the tracking sites these suppliers use, but when I get "news letters" or "sale ads" from woodworking or pen turning suppliers I subscribe and buy from, the links in Gmail will not work. They work fine if AdBlocker is turned off, however, like I said they used to work as of a few weeks ago. I'm in contact with AdBlocker as of this post, and I'm told that the reason links are "flashing" then disappear, is due to tracking code in the link which AdBlocker is blocking for my protection.

I checked the link to these images that say "Shop Now" or "Buy Now", or even an image link of a pen blank, and it shows the following website, ctrk.klclick .com
Upon investigating the site, it's used to track clicks, and possibly location and other data.

I'm not alone on this, as looking into this site further, there seems to be hundreds of complaints about this site where other popup or ad blockers are preventing the links from working, maybe due to that tracking site being black listed. I've also read that malware has been associated with this site.

For the time being, I've unsubscribed to all suppliers who use this tracking company.

If this post is not in the correct forum or violates it's rules, please move or delete it.
 
That's pretty typical for SHOPIFY whose privacy policy says "We WILL share your information with everyone that WE think appropriate" That is independent of the vendor policy of "We do not share your info with anyone"
