    Consumer Reports used to have very clear non-relationships with manufacturers and advertisers. They were very good.

    Why did this change with their online site? Why the 3rd party tracking?

    I subscribed some 10 years ago and the thing that upset me the most happened when I cancelled. I still had some two or three weeks on the period I had paid for. But the moment I cancelled my access was removed. No prorate. No refund.

    How is that for consumer friendly?

    Edit: I should also point out they did not respond to my emails about the issue.
