How does the CelebSauce toolbar work?
CelebSauce is aimed at avid celebrities’ fans, who want to keep abreast of the latest news on celebrities and gossips. The toolbar contains buttons which take you to Entertainment Weekly, People, and some other celebrities-related websites.
Like other browser extensions, the CelebSauce toolbar monitors your online behavior. It uses browser cookies and other tracking techniques to monitor what search terms you use, what buttons, or links, you click on, etc. This type of information is collected in order to enhance the quality of the service, and may also be shared with Mindspark Interactive Network’ affiliates.
The CelebSauce toolbar only provides you with links; it is not liable for the content and the consequences that follow your interaction with those websites. The same goes for the search results. Every click, including clicks on sponsored links, is your own responsibility, which is why you may wish to remove the toolbar from the browsers and restore your former settings.
Bear in mind that the search engine also monitors your behavior. It records your search terms, clicks, time spent on various websites, etc. Moreover, as has been mentioned above, it generates sponsored links, which are not endorsed by Ask. Not all of the links that you are provided with are insecure, but there might be some scam websites aimed at deceiving you.
