I really hate these kind of things I need to write on this page. In my opinion the internet shall be a useful, helpful, nice, informative, enteraining - in short: great - place. I'd like to contribute with this intention to the web-community with sTEFANsBench.net (I hope I could achieve this goal and you like this site).
However, I don't want to be persecuted or charged with something because of this, my opinion. I simply want to protect myself as well as visitors. That's why I have to apply these statements.

I tried to keep the page as unintrusive as possible. I avoided as far as possible using client-side execution (e.g. javascript), cookies, or other suspicious functionality. Collecting visitor information is anyway in general unavoidable in "Web 2.0" [virtually every web server logs visits and served content for different purposes]. Because I simply want to know if the efforts creating this site was worth the effort and the community is noticing sTEFANsBench.net I aggregate visit statistics for private use.

Please note that no personal data are collected by this site and this site is not asking for personal data. I nevertheless plan to install third party services for advertisements [creating valueable high-quality content, esp. software packages and running this domain and site costs a lot of time and money] and maybe so called "social plug-ins" as many other web-sites already do. These services may collect data which are not under my control or accessibility. However I probably will [if I even do] only use services from established service providers I trust [or at least millions of other people trust] which are used on many many other web-sites as well.If you want to learn more about to protect your privacy you should search the web for profound information. There are many great web-pages and tools available which helps you protecting your privacy when browsing, just "google" for them.

In this sense: don't worry and HAVE FUN!
