Privacy notice

• We never ask for your name, your email address or any account — there is nothing to sign up for.
• We run no analytics and no tracking of our own.
• We display advertising served by Google. In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, those ads only appear after you consent.
• The only cookie we set ourselves is for the admin area, which visitors never receive; otherwise the personal data we handle is just the IP address in the server logs.

This site is run by the operator of aceonca.com, a private individual based in Croatia (“we”, “us”). For anything to do with this notice or your data, write to [email protected].

Like almost every website, when you visit us the web server (and the network in front of it) records the standard access-log fields: your IP address, your browser’s user-agent, which pages and files were requested, and the time. We use these only to keep the site running and secure — to diagnose errors and to spot abusive traffic. The legal basis for this is our legitimate interest in operating a safe, working website (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). We do not use these logs to build profiles or to identify you.

The benchmark figures you can submit through the site contain only hardware and FPS numbers; please don’t type personal details into them, because accepted submissions are published.

Visitors receive no cookie from us. The only cookie we control is aceonca_admin, which is strictly necessary to keep the site’s owner signed in to the admin area and is only ever set after an admin login. Advertising is the one exception to “no cookies”, and it is set by Google — see the next section.

Separately, your browser’s local storage keeps two small, functional things: the list of components you recently compared, and any blog articles you “pin”. These live only on your own device, are never sent to us, and are cleared whenever you clear your browser data.

To cover the cost of running the site, we display advertising served by Google. Google and its partners use cookies and similar technologies, and data such as your IP address and device information, to select, deliver and measure those ads. In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland this only happens after you give consent, through the consent message Google shows on your first visit; you can change or withdraw your choice there at any time. If you decline, you may still see ads, but they will not be personalised. Google acts as an independent controller for this processing, and its own privacy policy applies. We use no other advertising networks or trackers.

We do not sell your personal data. Beyond the advertising described above, the only third parties involved are the providers that keep the site running: Hetzner processes requests on our behalf and may do so outside your country under its standard data-processing terms. Some product and article pages also embed YouTube videos using the privacy-enhanced youtube-nocookie.com domain; opening one connects you to Google. “Buy” and other outbound links lead to third-party shops that we do not control — their own privacy policies apply once you leave us.

Access logs are kept for 30 days and then deleted. We hold no other personal data about ordinary visitors.

Under the GDPR you can ask to access, correct, delete or receive a copy of your personal data, and you can object to or ask us to restrict its processing. Write to [email protected] and we will respond. If you believe we have handled your data badly, you have the right to complain to a supervisory authority — in Croatia, that is the Croatian Personal Data Protection Agency (AZOP).

If this notice changes, we will update the date at the top of the page. It was last updated on 10 October 2026.
