Cookie Policy

Last updated: 28 September 2026

This policy explains how Assertant uses cookies and similar technologies on this website. It should be read together with our other privacy information.

How consent works

Necessary technologies operate without optional consent where they are required to provide the website, protect it, or remember your privacy choice. Preference, analytics, and marketing technologies remain blocked unless you allow the relevant category.

You can accept all optional categories, reject them, or choose categories separately. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time using Cookie settings in the website footer. Your choice is requested again after six months or sooner if our use of these technologies changes materially.
