I just got a reply from the SSA (Alexa Owens) and she apoligized and sent me this link: https://www.ssa.org/my-account/lost-password/ which looks identical to me to the one they sent. But somehow, this one does not have the Tracking problem the first one had. Maybe they shut off the tracking requirement?? A link in a web page has two parts: the visible text label, and the (invisible) URL it links to. A link, such as that in the email from the SSA, that shows the URL is supposedly leads to, actually has two URLs: the visible one (sometimes misleading), and the invisible one it actually links to. The reason you may get warnings about "icptrack.com" is that the SSA chose to send these mass emails by using a service, "iContact". It, like MailChimp, ConstantContact, etc, converts every link to a trackable one. In this case the visible URL is: https://www.ssa.org/my-account/lost-password/ but the actual URL it leads to is: https://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay...gTymqcTLusKni6... (lots more gobbledigook). In theory your clicking on such a link can be tracked, although I doubt in this case the SSA will use that feature of the iContact service. I hate such links because I don't want to be tracked, and also you don't know where it is really taking you, after the tracking bit. But in this case you can copy and paste the visible URL from that email into your browser and get to that page without being tracked. |
