Cookies and traffic reporting

We use “session cookies” from VG Wort, Munich, to measure access to texts in order to record the likelihood of copying. 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. A cookie also contains information about its origin and the storage period. Session cookies cannot store any other data. These measurements are carried out by Kantar Germany GmbH using the Scalable Central Measurement Method (SZM). They help to determine the likelihood of individual texts being copied in order to compensate authors and publishers for legal claims. We do not collect any personal data via cookies.

Many of our pages are provided with JavaScript calls, which we use to report access to the collecting society Wort (VG Wort). We thereby enable our authors to participate in the distributions from VG Wort, which ensure legal remuneration for the use of copyrighted works in accordance with Section 53 of the Copyright Act.

A use of our offers is also possible without cookies. Most browsers are set to automatically accept cookies. However, you can deactivate the storage of cookies or set your browser to notify you when cookies are being sent.
Data protection declaration for the use of the scalable central measurement method

Our website and our mobile web offering use the “Scalable Central Measurement Method” (SZM) from Kantar Germany GmbH to determine statistical parameters to determine the probability of texts being copied.

Anonymous measurements are collected. In order to recognize computer systems, the access number measurement alternatively uses a session cookie or a signature, which is created from various automatically transmitted information from your browser. IP addresses are only processed in anonymized form.

The process was developed with data protection in mind. The sole aim of the procedure is to determine the likelihood of individual texts being copied.

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