1. This tracking goes way beyond cookies. The proxy captures both the click session AND the customer’s email address. Cookies don’t.

2. You can set your browser security to avoid cookies. Even if you did that, the genius phishing will still trap you.

3. Making it easy for the sales rep doesn’t justify deceiving customers.

4. “we have not received a single complaint from any visitor.” Did they disclose the phishing to the customers who didn’t care. Or the customers did not complain since they didn’t know what hit them.

At the end of the day, the deception will come back to haunt this “genius”. It wouldn’t take much time.
