Our coupon and discount links contain coupon tracking information which, in part, ensures your order receives the correct discount upon checkout. Some internet firewalls like Norton Internet Security,
ZoneAlarm and Kazaa mistake this information as personal information and, in turn, block our coupon links when clicked. With the propper settings listed below, these issues can easily be resolved so you can use CouponCabin.com.
Below are the necessary steps for ensuring that firewalls allow CouponCabin links so that you can take advantage of CouponCabin savings.
