Remove OOPSpam - not privacy-friendly

Browse Source 
Upon closer inspection, OOPSpam is not what it seems, it directly violates GDPR in several ways (but the website says it's compliant) and the website uses third-party tracking cookies, namely tolt.io for affiliate marketing.

Highlights from the [OOPSpam's Privacy Policy](https://www.oopspam.com/privacypolicy):

- (!) OOPSpam.com transfers your data outside your jurisdiction - "Your information, including Personal Data, may be transferred to — and maintained on — computers located outside of your state, province, country or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ than those from your jurisdiction."
- (!) OOPSpam.com is using your data "to provide and improve the Service.". It is unclear whether its the submitted user data or customer's personal information.
- OOPSpam.com collects "several different types of information for various purposes to provide and improve [their] Service to you."
- OOPSpam.com is using cookies "and similar tracking technologies to track the activity on our Service and hold certain information."
