This information is analysed for statistical purposes. You, the individual user, remain anonymous.

Since no personal data is collected, none is exported to countries outside the EEA.

External links

To provide you with optimal information, our website contains links to third-party sites. Insofar as links of this kind are not obviously recognisable, we point out that they are external links. The IOW has no influence on the content and design of other providers’ websites. Therefore, the guarantees in this data protection statement naturally do not apply to those sites.
