Our cookie policy
This website is owned by AXA Insurance dac. Here is our cookie policy for this
site and the types of cookies we use on it.
What are cookies
Cookies are small files that websites place on the device you’re using to browse
the site. Cookies are commonly used to record some aspect of your visit to a site,
such as choices you’ve made or preferences you’ve set during your visit. .
How and why we use cookies
We use cookies to give you the best experience when you visit our website. By using
cookies, we can make it easier for you to do many things, such as managing your

Keeping your personal information safe
Our cookies do not store personal information such as your name, address, phone
number or email in a format that can be read by others. The cookies we use cannot
read or search your computer, smartphone or web-enabled device to obtain information
about you or your family, or read any material kept on your hard drive. We do use
a small number of cookies that store encrypted versions of information where you
have asked us to, such as the ‘Remember me’ function that allows us to remember
your Account username for subsequent visits. However, this is encrypted so that
only AXA Insurance dac can read this information. The website that places a
cookie owns that cookie. This means only that website and other sites that it has
agreed to share information with can read the information stored using a cookie.
