10. VG Wort

10.1 Use of the Skalierbare Zentrale Messverfahren

Our website and our mobile website use the "Skalierbare Zentrale Messverfahren" (SZM) of Kantar Germany GmbH to determine statistical parameters for determining the copy probability of texts.
Anonymous measurement values are collected in the process. The access count measurement alternatively uses a session cookie or a signature, which is created from various automatically transmitted information of your browser, for the recognition of computer systems. IP addresses are only processed in anonymized form.
The procedure was developed in compliance with data protection. The sole aim of the procedure is to determine the copying probability of individual texts.
At no time are individual users identified. Your identity always remains protected. You will not receive any advertising via the system.

10.2 Cookies and reports on traffic numbers

We use "session cookies" from VG Wort, Munich, to measure accesses to texts in order to record the copy probability. Session cookies are small units of information that a provider stores in the RAM of the 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 copy probability of individual texts for the remuneration of legal claims of authors and publishers. We do not collect any personal data via cookies.

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 as soon as cookies are sent.

10.3 Tracking pixel

Our offers use tracking pixels from Verwertungsgesellschaft WORT, Goethestraße 49, 80336 Munich ("VG Wort"). Tracking pixels are invisible graphics within the respective website for you as a website visitor, whereby information about visitor traffic on our offers can be evaluated. VG Wort administers the royalties from secondary exploitation rights in linguistic works for authors. The distribution of royalties for online texts is tied to certain criteria. VG Wort uses the data determined via tracking pixels to determine whether a text on a website has reached the threshold required for distribution.
According to VG Wort, the method used ensures that individual users or their reading behavior cannot be determined when the number of text views is counted, as all data collected by VG Wort is immediately encrypted in a secure manner. The use of the pixel counter was reviewed by the Bavarian State Office for Data Protection Supervision and found to be in compliance with data protection regulations.

We use fonts provided by Google to display the content on our website. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
