Casalemedia.com

Very light green. It's an online advertiser that also does online tracking and behavioural analysis. Somewhat privacy invading, but nothing malicious going on here. I allow it because it is used by stackoverflow and its satellite sites and I do not want to deny them their income.

Truste certified, benign tracking service. I'll allow.

I get a lot of tracking cookeis from this website, even though I haven't been on it at all!

I've removed 5 tracking cookies in a row in 1 scan just now O_o

I don't trust to enter the website. Be cautious with children too.

As I have stated many times before, comments on websites that are more than 1 year old need to be archived and those ratings removed from the current posted ratings. Just because a website or business has had a bad reputation at one time is no excuse for continued bad ratings unless the ratings are based on the companies current (the last 1 or 2 years) activities are bad. The ratings should be based on a moving average basis that is weighted on current and not years old activity.

Good site…

Its service is intended to join behavioral targeting with advanced data analytics to improve
campaign optimization over a global advertising network

Although some may feel web page ads are annoying, the ads keep useful content online and available for free.

Casale is an advertising network. It doesn't send "spyware or Malware" just because its ads may be displayed on unsavory Web sites.
Rating poorly just because it's an advertising network makes no sense. "

…cookie is a TEXT file, IT IS NOT A PROGRAM. It does not affect your computer's operation, it does not transmit data, it is not able to read or write anything on your computer. There is no attempt at making people buy something. It is similar to a log that is being looked at every time you land on a site that uses us to deliver banner advertising. It is used to monitor how many of which banners we display. These cookies can be deleted easily and can even be completely blocked at browser level.

I have never seen malicious downloads from this site. It does use tracking though, but there are plenty of ways to block that. There are also lots of sockpuppet comments from November 2010, not good practice.

Never received spyWare or MALware from this site
