With his presentation "OneLog: What there is to know about the single sign-on software solution", Silvano Oeschger, CEO of OneLog and Senior Product Manager Technology at TX Group, gave an in-depth insight into the joint venture between TX Group and Ringier. OneLog is to establish a common log-in technology for media companies in Switzerland. OneLog will provide users with a common, cross-site login for all news areas, but activities will not be tracked across sites. This technical solution is intended to support the participating media companies in improving the framework conditions of first party data in the context of product development and advertising purposes and to make the Swiss advertising market more attractive.
