I don't like being advertised to or manipulated, and by studying market segments they often try to "fit me" into certain profiles (good luck with that). I've already gotten spam emails because my data was sold that didn't respect my Unsubscribe requests. That's why I use Adblock/Disconnect/HTTPSB, etc, to avoid most advertising and building that profile (if I can). If someone has unobtrusive, inoffensive, non-targete…

(good luck with that) Reminds me of the time a few years ago that Google gave me a few ads for bow resin after I signed up to the cello-dev mailing list.

You have a serious problem. The valid site is signed with a valid Entrust certificate. https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=isapps.acxiom... Are you at work or on a coffee shop network where SSL traffic might be intercepted?

I ran the Qualsys SSL Labs test on the site[0]. It reports an incomplete chain; that is, the server doesn't supply the intermediate certificate required (Entrust Certification Authority - L1C) to bridge the gap between the site's certificate and the Entrust certificate in most browser/OS stores.

I don't generally see issues like this on the corporate network so there's something different about this case.

Of course Acxiom really should serve the site and intermediate certificates together to reduce round-trips and speed up the handshake.
