Translated from a German

Another example of tracking-free cookies are those of VG Wort, which are played out on many publishers' websites to enable the allocation of annual royalties to authors, but do not create cross-offer user profiles.

Based on the quote above these cookies are not "following you from site to site to gather data about what you do online".
