Measurement of access numbers

Cookies and messages about access numbers

We use “session cookies” from VG Wort, Munich, to measure text access to record the copy probability. Session cookies are small pieces of information that a provider stores in the RAM of the visitor’s computer. A randomly generated unique identification number is stored in a session cookie, a so-called session ID. In addition, a cookie contains information about its origin and the storage period. Session cookies cannot store any other data. Kantar Deutschland GmbH carries out these measurements according to the Scalable Central Measurement Method (SZM). They help to determine the copying probability of individual texts for the remuneration of legal claims of authors and publishers. We do not collect any personal data via cookies.

Many of our pages are provided with JavaScript calls, via which we report the accesses to the Verwertungsgesellschaft Wort (VG Wort). We thus enable our authors to participate in the distributions of VG Wort, which is the statutory remuneration for the uses of copyrighted works according to the German Copyright Act. § 53 UrhG.

It is also possible to use our offers without cookies. Most browsers are set to accept cookies automatically. However, you can disable the storage of cookies or set your browser to notify you when cookies are sent.

Privacy policy for the use of the Scalable Centralized Measurement System

Our website and our mobile website use the “Scalable Central Measurement Method” (SZM) of Kantar Deutschland GmbH to determine statistical parameters for determining the copy probability of texts.

Anonymous measured values are collected in the process. The access count measurement alternatively uses a session cookie or a signature created from various automatically transmitted information from your browser to recognize computer systems. IP addresses are only processed in anonymized form.

The procedure was developed in compliance with data protection. The sole aim of the method is to determine the copy probability of individual texts.

At no time are individual users identified? Your identity always remains protected. You will not receive any advertising through the system.
