Privacy:
The Site appears to be mostly safe privacy wise.
It seems to use propeller-ads and OpenX (as evident from their cookies) as their monetization method, which means the website has pop-ups and therefore tracking cookies (which are taking a bite out of their privacy score) but its nothing to worry about – as they use user hashing methods to remove personal details, most sites use them and they are usually legit.
Privacy: 9/10, No acute privacy issues!
