Re: Intended usage notification

I don't understand that this is a real problem; a simple

"The site you are visiting is providing the following usage  
information:"

makes it clear that this is provided by the web site, not a third  
party. Particularly on small form factor mobile devices, trying to  
find this information will be hard, particularly since the pop up  
asking may well be modal, so that the user can't do anything except  
click on something.
