They are perennial, basically, some just go 2-3-4 years though.
There are two approaches as far as I know - keep them inside (in the warmth) and see how they handle the little light they get during the winter wonths, or put them in a sleep / hibernating mode by putting them in a cold-ish (but definitely above 10°C) stairway for example. The latter did work for me a few times but watering is quite tricky I have found (too little they die, too much they die).
In general chilies don't handle quick changes in light and temperature very well. This year most of mine died when the harsh autumn came here in Berlin. At the moment I have just one plant left, sitting right on top of the radiator in the kitchen, it's doing nicely and even has one berry right now 🙂
