Between 2010 and 2013 Helles-Kopfchen.de was part of an empirical study (information behavior of children on the Internet: an empirical study on the use of search engines) by the German Youth Institute (DJI). Helles Köpfchen is regularly called up by between 800,000 and 1 million visitors a month.

criticism

Despite the explicit marketing as a search engine for children and young people, the personal data of all website visitors are transmitted to a vast number of third parties in the advertising industry without active consent. In this way, children and young people are tracked across all websites and behavioral profiles are created of them.
