What are Cookies?

When you visit our Website, one or more “cookies” are generated and deployed with your consent, if required.

Cookies are small files of letters and numbers that are stored on your browser and/or the hard dive of your computer (or other internet-enabled devices, such as a smartphone or tablet) when you visit the Site. A cookie will usually contain the name of the website from which the cookie has come from, the “lifetime” of the cookie (i.e. how long it will remain on your device) and a value, which is usually a randomly generated unique number.

We use cookies to make the Site easier to use and to better tailor our web presence and products to your interests and needs. Cookies are also used to help speed up your future activities and deliver a more personalised experience on the Site.

Some cookies may process your personal data (e.g. IP addresses and other online identifiers). Please see Chubb’s Privacy Notice for further details about how your personal data is processed and your rights in relation to this.

Other cookies are used to compile anonymous, aggregated statistics that allow us to understand how people use our web properties and to help us improve web structure and content. We cannot identify you personally from this information although the same principles apply regarding these cookies.

Categories of Cookies Used on The Site:

Two types of cookies will be used on the Site, “session cookies” and “persistent cookies”. Session cookies are temporary cookies that remain on your device until you leave this Site. A persistent cookie remains on your device for much longer or until you manually delete it (how long the cookie remains on your device will depend on the duration or “lifetime” of the specific cookie and your browser settings).
