Globalcetsgroup[.]com overview
It must be mentioned that the content encountered on and through rogue sites might differ depending on visitors' IP addresses (geolocations).
At the time of research, globalcetsgroup[.]com ran a fake CAPTCHA verification test – "Click 'Allow' if you are not a robot" – to trick users into consenting to the webpage's browser notification delivery. The believability of this deception is hampered by the information globalcetsgroup[.]com provides regarding notifications; its inclusion could be due to new policies or a policy change (e.g., by a hosting service provider).
Rogue websites use their browser notifications to deliver intrusive ad campaigns. These advertisements can promote online scams, untrustworthy/hazardous software, and malware.
In summary, via webpages like globalcetsgroup[.]com – users may experience system infections, serious privacy issues, financial losses, and even identity theft.

Browser notification spam in general
We have investigated countless rogue pages; eusblog[.]com, kokojumjumbobo[.]top, and webtyras[.]com are merely a few of our newest articles on this topic. These websites deliver browser notifications endorsing deceptive/malicious content.
While legitimate products or services may be encountered through the adverts – they are unlikely to be promoted by their actual developers. It is most likely that this endorsement is performed by scammers who abuse the content's affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.
How did globalcetsgroup[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?
Websites cannot display browser notifications without user consent. Therefore, you have likely entered globalcetsgroup[.]com at some point and pressed "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option – thus enabling the advert delivery.
How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
If you happen upon a suspect website – do not permit it to deliver browser notifications. In other words, do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or any analogous options on dubious pages. Instead, deny the notification delivery – i.e., press "Block", "Block Notifications", etc. – or ignore these requests in their entirety.
Should you keep experiencing continuous unprompted redirects to questionable sites, it could be due to adware installed on the browser or system. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
