4. Cookies and reports on access numbers

We use “session cookies” from VG Wort, Munich, to measure access to texts in order to determine the probability of copying. Session cookies are small pieces of information that a provider stores in the main memory of a visitor’s computer. A randomly generated unique identification number, a so-called session ID, is stored in a session cookie. In addition, a cookie 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 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, which we use to report access to the collecting society Wort (VG Wort). This enables our authors to participate in the distributions of VG Wort, which ensure the statutory remuneration for the use of copyrighted works in accordance with § 53 UrhG.

It is also possible to use our offers 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 sent.

5. Privacy Policy for the Use of the Scalable Central Measurement Method

Our website and our mobile web services use the “Skalierbares Zentrale Messverfahren” (SZM) of Kantar Germany GmbH to determine statistical parameters for determining the copying probability of texts.

Anonymous measurements are collected in the process. The access measurement uses either 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 with data protection in mind. The sole purpose of the procedure is to determine the copying probability of individual texts.

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