Security warning

clicking on links frequently gives error “your connection is not private”.
" BUT if I close the error message tab and click on the link a second time it opens without error. If its insecure once it should be insecure next time also.

Here is the screenshot.
Should I be concerned at so many notices that work ok on second attempt or is is a bit of a bug in Brave?

advanced link gives:

This server could not prove that it is click.e.news.com.au; its security certificate is from click.virt.s4.exacttarget.com. This may be caused by a misconfiguration or an attacker intercepting your connection.

Proceed to click.e.news.com.au (unsafe)

It looks like that website may be using a middle-man for click-tracking. As for seeing it sometimes, but not other times, it could be that the site is only sending some users/requests to the tracking service while other users go directly to the content.

Thanks. Maybe its a way to get around blocking tracking?
