Yes, your website has two user hostile features which immediately make me want to click away

1) Sending cookies to track me, and then a big lie about how you "value my privacy" while trying to track me and sell my data to your "partners"

" ► UpPromote Affiliate Marketing [Application] - Running..."

2) A cookie banner, which you completely ignore as you've already set 7 cookies before your javascript craps out ("TypeError: a.R is undefined"). At this point I haven't done a single thing on your page worthy of even a session cookie.

3) Once you "decline" your banner (which doesn't stop those cookies - including cookies you have set for 12 months in the future), you get a "chat" window with a red notification icon



I think your complaints are valid. For starters, I turned off that affiliate marketing thing, I wasn't using that anyways.
