Is CyberGhost Cookie Cleaner safe?
CyberGhost Cookie Cleaner sends domains shown in its exceptions UI to Google's favicon service.
When the exceptions UI renders, the extension builds Google favicon image URLs using the active tab domain and saved exception domains. Those browser image requests disclose the displayed domains to www.google.com so the UI can show site icons.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Same store account
1 other listing published from this account, 800k+ users between them, none of them carrying a finding.
Shared hosts - 2 hostnames
Hostnames hardcoded in this extension that few other listings call. That can mean one operator behind both, and it can equally mean a small shared vendor, so it is context rather than a conclusion. Hosts that many listings call are left out: they are services, not connections.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed CyberGhost contacting. Sending data somewhere is not a finding on its own - an extension that syncs your settings has to talk to its own server - but it is where your data can go, and who else it goes to.
