IQWiG is committed to protecting your privacy. The data protection regulations outlined below refer to your interactions with our website and to our handling of information that we receive from you and by which you are identifiable (e.g. your e-mail address).

We continuously evaluate the use of our website so that we can constantly improve our services. We cannot allocate the data collected in this context to specific individuals, and these data are saved exclusively for statistical purposes.

Cookies may be used for this purpose. Cookies are small text-information files that are saved locally in the cache of the web browser when you visit a webpage and enable the recognition of the web browser.
