Clicking Unsubscribe in an email from Bargainbox took my Brave browser to an unsecured (no HTTPS) page at bargainbox.co.nz.

 

This of course, results in a warning from the browser:

 

"The connection to click.info.bargainbox.co.nz is not secure
You are seeing this warning because this site does not support HTTPS."

 

With "Continue" and "Go Back" buttons.

 

All other pages I found at www.bargainbox.co.nz are secured. 

 

Many people trying to unsubscribe from the emails would be scared off by the warning message and not continue to the site, to complete the Unsubscribe process.

 

Making it difficult to unsubscribe may be good business but it's hardly honest. Or am I just old and cynical?

I've brought this to their attention and received an auto acknowledgement from hello@myfoodbag.co.nz

http: link is followed for a web site that does not have TLS/SSL enabled.
User agent/browser unhelpfully insists on using security.
User then proceeds to paste https: link into other browsers giving rise to more errors.
