CIC Shopping At Amazon.com

*All purchases from Amazon made using the links or buttons above, below, or elsewhere on this site will generate a small referral fee which will go toward defraying the costs of maintaining this web resource and forums, at no additional cost to you.

How it works: The Amazon links on this site contain a special affiliate code.

To make sure CIC gets credit for your Amazon purchases:

As you browse Amazon, the affiliate code you see at the end of the link above will disappear from the URL. That's OK, Amazon, via a method used by most websites you visit, "remembers" the code by setting a temporary "cookie" in your browser.

Privacy concerns: CIC can see what items have been purchased, but not who purchased them, nor any other information about them.

Referral fees earned go to offset recurring monthly webhosting costs, domain registration, as well as software licensing fees. Amazon prices are the same whether you use an affiliate link or not, so there is no extra expense on your part to help support the CIC website and forum.
