If you want to see a combined privacy rating for both the website and all the advertisers that you're exposed to when you visit a site, PrivacyChoice has a browser plugin that will help you.
One thing that I've noticed is that old-school media tends to have absolutely terrible scores, and they tend to share lots of stuff, and they share it with less privacy-conscious ad networks. I was very surprised that Facebook and Google, companies that are supposedly so predatory that they have the FTC in house to monitor them, stack up better.
Yep, that's something that I definitely found. I think people are scared by Google/FB more because of their size/power than because their privacy policies are below industry par.
