Is optimizely.com Safe?

"Some pages on this website install malware on visitors' computers. Dangerous websites have been sending visitors to this website, including: ***** and deltashowerdoors.com. We last updated our information about optimizely.com on May 29, 2016." https://www.google.com/transparencyreport/safebrowsing/diagnostic/index.html#url=optimizely.com

Whilst site not listed in HP Hosts, VirusTotal, Safe Browsing, Sucuri Site Check or URLVoid for security issues the site is probably not suitable for permanent white listing (Is any site really suitable to have permanent white listing?) Visitors, specific to the site, might want to allow session permissions but wouldn't recommend beyond that. Site has links to DoubleClick, which is part of Google's marketing arm. Marked yellow due to extensive Doubleclick links on the site itself. For the paranoid or the those with very high security requirements, this site should be blocked.

Not that I don't already have strong bias against targeted advertising, which means online tracking and profiling, never trust-able and certainly not suitable for children, but here's an actual quote from that "how we use your data" link, thrown straight at your face: "While we respect the privacy of our users, we are not able to respond to Do Not Track signals set by your browser at this time." I do understand marketing wise why, but the beginning of that statement is just ballsy. Blocked - if some site demands it to work I may consider whitelisting it in NoScript, but writing NoScript ABE rule to allow only that site to load from them.

Even though it has a safe harbor seal I am still going to give it a light red. We just don't need this much tracking. I am editing this to drop them to light red after reading their stinky privacy policy. My faith in TRUSTe is shaken at the moment.

This is purely a website that tracks your personal information. If you go to their website there is even an 'opt-out' button... because they ARE TRACKING YOU and then selling that information to aggregate corporations in order to create advertisements based on your browsing habits. Creepy.

Javascript is delivered to your browser from this site. Quoting from its privacy policy: "We may store personal information in locations outside the direct control of Optimizely (for instance, on servers or databases co-located with hosting providers). Any personally identifiable information you elect to make publically (sic) available on the Service, such as posting comments on our blog page, will be available to other Users." Therefore it seems the site does not protect personal information. It may meet the "scam" definition because it "attempts to obtain something else of value" -- namely, information about you and your browsing behavior. Therefore, I choose to block scripts which originate from this site.

Tracking website, nutzt zur Zeit Amazon Cloud für Data Storing, Akamai Load Balancer, Beheimatet in USA, Datensicherheit also nicht gegeben, Userverfolgung innerhalb von Websites und wahrscheinlich auch Site übergreifend. Werben mit massiver Umsatzsteigerung bei Benutzung ihrer Dienste. Ich persönlich denken, dass diese Firma nicht vertrauenswürdig ist.
