What is a cookie?
Cookies are small text files that a website transfers to your hard drive or device to store and sometimes collect information about your usage of websites, such as time spent on the Sites, pages visited, language preferences, and other traffic data.

We also gather statistical information about use of the Sites in order to improve their design and functionality, understand how they are used and assist us with resolving questions regarding them.
There are different types of cookies, for example:
- Cookies transferred directly by Willis Towers Watson or the website vendor ('first party cookies') and cookies transferred on our behalf, for example by our selected advertisers and data analytics companies ('third party cookies')
- Cookies which endure for different periods of time, including those that only last only as long as your browser is open (referred to as 'session cookies'). These are deleted automatically from your device once you close your browser. Other cookies are 'permanent cookies', meaning that they remain on your device after your browser is closed. For example, they recognize your device when you open your browser and browse the internet again.
