Our newsletter was initially sent via Emarsys, a technical service provider. At the same time, the technologies used in this respect enable us to personalize the advertising approach to our customers via e-mail and post so that we can inform you individually about the most suitable product offers.

VG-Word

We use "session cookies" from VG Wort, Munich, to measure access to texts and determine the probability of copying. Session cookies are small information units that a provider stores in the main memory 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 storage period.

They help to determine the copying probability of individual texts for the remuneration of legal claims of authors and publishers. We do not collect personal data via cookies.

Many of our pages are equipped with JavaScript calls, which we use to report accesses to the Verwertungsgesellschaft Wort (VG Wort). In this way, we enable our authors to participate in the distributions of VG Wort, which ensures the legal remuneration for using copyright-protected works under § 53 UrhG.

Web offers

Our website and mobile web offer use the "Scalable Central Measurement Method" (SZM) of INFOnline GmbH (https://www.infonline.de) to determine statistical characteristic values and text copy probability.

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

 Google Analytics

For website analysis, Google Analytics automatically collects and stores data (IP address, time of visit, device and browser information, and information on your use of our website), from which usage profiles are created using pseudonyms. Cookies may be used for this purpose. If you visit our website from the EU, your IP address will be stored on a server in the EU to derive location data and then deleted immediately before the traffic is forwarded to further Google servers for processing. The data processing is carried out based on an order processing agreement by Google.

We use the so-called user ID function to optimize our website's marketing. This function assigns a unique, permanent ID to your interaction data for one or more sessions on our websites, thus analyzing user behavior across devices and sessions.

For web analytics and advertising purposes, the extension function of Google Analytics enables the so-called DoubleClick cookie to recognize your browser when visiting other websites. Google will use this information to compile reports about your website activities and to provide other services related to the use of the website.

 Google reCAPTCHA

For protection against misuse of our web forms as well as against spam by automated software (so-called bots), Google reCAPTCHA collects data (IP address, time of visit, browser information as well as information on your use of our website) and performs an analysis of your use of our website through a so-called JavaScript and cookies.

We promote this site through Google Ads in search results and third-party websites. To this end, when you visit our website, the so-called remarketing cookie is set by Google, automatically enabling interest-based advertising through a pseudonymous cookie ID based on the pages you visit.
