+ <summary>What is this?</summary>
+ <p>
+ This web-application is a way to <em>follow</em> Twitch-Channels,
+ without using either the Twitch.tv website directly or requiring a
+ twitch account.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Instead, this utility uses simple polling techniques in order to check,
+ which of the specified Twitch-Channels are currently online and
+ streaming. Simply insert a comma-separated list of twitch-usernames in
+ the form at the top of the page and click "save".
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ For each channel, the current online-status is checked periodically
+ every 15 minutes. All online users are then served on this page as a
+ simple list, including the current stream title and the stream thumbnail
+ image directly from twitch.tv. You can click the thumbnail of a
+ stream-preview to start playback. This will embed the livestream
+ directly, i.e. your browser will connect to twitch.tv
+ </p>

+ <p>
+ Besides Access Information, no information of site visitors are
+ collected.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ When submitting a list of twitch-channels in the form, a cookie storing
+ that list is set, so the service knows which channels to poll. Set
+ cookies are not part of the collected access information and are not
+ analysed.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Polling the online-status of channels, starting to watch a channel’s
+ livestream or opening the “Chat” box is done client-side. Your browser
+ will directly connect to www.twitch.tv, thereby transfering your IP
+ address as well as potentially other data, leaked by your webbrowser.
