NoScript Measurement¶
Why NoScript Measurement
On the basis of our advertising measurement SZM)+base, a wide range of additional services is available to you - so that page views become real performance values!
INFOnline's advertising media measurement uses JavaScript technology, which enables effective and reliable usage measurement of your website.
But you don't want to use JavaScript technology on your website or want to capture the small percentage of users who don't have JavaScript enabled on their end device?
Our NoScript measurement service allows you to perform the measurement using a plain HTML tag. However, please note that NoScript measurement has technological limitations. Furthermore, you have to apply for exceptions if you are identified by the IVW or if your offer participates in the AGOF study daily digital facts.
Scope of services¶
The service 'NoScript' allows you to execute the measurement via a pure HTML tag instead of the usual JavaScript technology.

Technical information¶
Preparation¶
Restrictions when using the NoScript measurement
Measurement using the NoScript tag comes with a number of limitations resulting from the lack of JavaScript functionality:
- no support for surveys
- no collection of URLs or referrers with privacy-compliant automatic shortening
- no collection of screen resolution and color depth
- no consideration of DNT
- no separation for no-cookie clients hidden behind proxies (iOS devices!)
- no support for hybrid apps
- reduced detection of fake or automatic fetches
These technical limitations may have a negative impact on the determined usage values of your digital offering (e.g. lower number of determined clients).
Technical requirements¶
The prerequisite for correct measurement is that the SZM tag 2.0 is implemented in the NoScript variant according to the documentation. Automatic reloads, automatic redirects and the like must not be counted. In general, only 1 page impression (PI) may be generated per action.
Note
Please note the definitions of the IVW.
Integration¶
The SZM tag 2.0 for NoScript measurement consists of a simple http or https call that is integrated into the body part of the web page.
BODY INTEGRATION (http)¶

Note
- To ensure correct measurement, the SZM tag 2.0 must be included unchanged in the source code of the web page to be measured.
- Only the specified variables may be changed.
- Line breaks, upper and lower case letters must be kept!
Meaning of the variables in the SZM tag¶
The following variables must be adapted accordingly when integrating the NoScript tag into your web page
| abbreviation | meaning | description |
|---|---|---|
| st | offer identifier (site / domain) in the example under 0 marked with offer identifier |
The offer identifier assigned to your digital offer; this is created by INFOnline and assigned once; the identifier is a maximum of 8 characters long. |
| cp | Code Marked in the example under 0 with page code |
The code can be freely defined by the provider and is used to identify its published pages in the SZM system. The code is the basis for subsequent category assignment in the INFOnline Customer Center (KAT 2.0). The code may contain a maximum of 255 characters and consist only of alphanumeric characters; the following special characters are permitted: ',' '/' '-' '_'. The sum of active codes for the digital offer should not exceed a total number of 3,000. Use of more than 3,000 active codes is subject to charges. NOTE: For testing purposes, "cp" can be replaced with "xp". In this case, the requests are discarded by the measuring system. |
