So I heard about this new website through r/canadaguns and I'm wondering if it is safe to use?

If you saw the post here then you would have seen that not too many people were enthusiastic about the site.

I'm grateful that there are always web-savvy folks here testing for half-assery.

Nothing of substantial worth was raised in that thread.

The only thing that can be really argued against is the third party page analytics.

The whole "admin page for etransfers" to track users is a reach. Not saying that it's not possible that things are being saved permanently, but the existence of a page that happens to mention etransfer doesn't automatically mean user tracking.

For instance, I'm implementing product alerts for Almost Prohib, which includes sending an email with a one-time code to the user. I save that code until it gets used by the user. Am I permanently tracking the user by following this code? No, I just need it to confirm the user actually owns the email. I expect that their etransfer system works the same.
