Cliegacklianons[.]com is a rogue page that endorses browser notification spam and redirects visitors to different (likely dubious/malicious) websites. Our researchers discovered cliegacklianons[.]com while investigating sites that use rogue advertising networks.

Cliegacklianons[.]com overview
The content encountered on and through rogue sites might differ depending on the visitor's IP address (geolocation). At the time of research, cliegacklianons[.]com used a lure that was a mix between a video player themed clickbait and CAPTCHA verification.
Both the buffering video and the CAPTCHA test are fake. Hence, when a visitor presses the "Allow" button, they unintentionally permit cliegacklianons[.]com to display browser notifications. Adverts of this kind can promote various scams, untrustworthy/hazardous software, and even malware.
To summarize, via webpages like cliegacklianons[.]com (and their notifications) – users may experience system infections, serious privacy issues, financial losses, and identity theft.

Browser notification spam in general
We have investigated numerous rogue webpages; bavergenomwer[.]com, alphapcnetwork[.]com, and kneadspro[.]com are just a couple of our newest articles. Despite their varying appearance, these sites aim to trick visitors into consenting to their browser notification delivery.
Spam notifications endorse deceptive and malicious content. It must be stressed that any genuine products/services encountered via these ads are most likely promoted by scammers who abuse their affiliate programs to acquire illegitimate commissions.
How did cliegacklianons[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
Should you happen upon a suspicious webpage – do not enable it to deliver browser notifications (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We advise ignoring or denying notification requests from such sites (i.e., selecting "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).
In case of continuous unprompted redirects to dubious websites, check the browser and system for installed advertising-supported software (adware). If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
