Cookies Policy

Last updated: 9 April 2026

About This Policy

This policy explains how Neuron Gear Ltd uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. It covers what cookies are, which ones we use, why we use them, and how you can control them.

By using our website, you agree to our use of cookies in accordance with this policy and your preferences.

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device when you visit them. They're widely used to make websites work more efficiently and provide information to website owners.

Cookies can remember your preferences, track how you interact with a website, and distinguish you from other visitors. They don't harm your device and don't contain viruses or malware.

Most browsers accept cookies automatically, but you can modify your browser settings to decline them if you prefer. However, this may prevent you from accessing certain features of our website.

How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for several purposes:

  • To enable essential website functionality
  • To remember your preferences and settings
  • To understand how visitors use our website
  • To improve user experience
  • To remember your cookie consent choices

We do not use cookies for advertising or to track you across other websites.

Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for our website to function properly. They enable basic features like page navigation, access to secure areas, and remembering your cookie preferences. The website cannot function properly without these cookies, so they're set automatically when you visit.

Duration: Most essential cookies are session cookies that expire when you close your browser. The cookie consent cookie lasts for 12 months.

Why we need them: Without essential cookies, you wouldn't be able to navigate our site effectively or use key features like the mobile menu.

Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. We use this data to identify areas for improvement and understand which content is most valuable to visitors.

We use privacy-focused analytics that don't track personal information. The data collected is aggregated and cannot be used to identify individual visitors.

Duration: Analytics cookies typically last up to 26 months.

What they collect: Pages visited, time spent on pages, browser type, device type, referral source, and general location (country/city level only).

Your choice: You can opt out of analytics cookies through our cookie preferences. This won't affect your ability to use the website.

Functional Cookies

These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, personalised features. For example, they might remember your preferred text size or language preferences if we offer these options in future.

Duration: Functional cookies typically last between 30 days and 12 months.

Your choice: While these cookies improve your experience, the website remains functional without them.

Third-Party Cookies

We minimise the use of third-party cookies. Currently, the only third-party services we use that may set cookies are:

Web Analytics

We use a privacy-focused analytics service to understand website usage. This service is configured to respect privacy and doesn't track personal information or share data with other parties.

Video Content

If we embed video content from platforms like YouTube or Vimeo in future, these platforms may set their own cookies. We use privacy-enhanced embedding modes where available, which limits the cookies set until you choose to play the video.

We regularly review third-party services to ensure they meet our privacy standards. We don't allow third parties to use cookies for advertising or tracking purposes on our website.

Session vs Persistent Cookies

Session Cookies

These temporary cookies are deleted when you close your browser. They're essential for navigating between pages and maintaining your session as you move through our website.

Persistent Cookies

These cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them manually. They remember your preferences across multiple visits, saving you from having to re-enter information or adjust settings each time.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You have several options for controlling cookies:

Our Cookie Preferences Tool

When you first visit our website, you'll see a cookie banner allowing you to accept all cookies or manage your preferences. You can access these preferences at any time by clicking the "Cookie Settings" link in our footer.

Essential cookies cannot be disabled as they're necessary for the website to function, but you can opt out of analytics and other non-essential cookies.

Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through settings. You can typically:

  • View cookies stored on your device
  • Delete existing cookies
  • Block cookies from specific sites
  • Block all cookies
  • Delete all cookies when closing the browser

Consult your browser's help documentation for specific instructions. Be aware that blocking all cookies may affect your ability to use many websites, not just ours.

Mobile Devices

Mobile devices have privacy settings that allow you to control cookie behaviour in mobile browsers. These settings vary by device and operating system, so check your device documentation for guidance.

Cookies We Set

Here's a detailed list of cookies our website uses:

Essential Cookies

  • ng_cookie_consent - Stores your cookie preferences so we don't ask repeatedly (12 months)
  • ng_session - Maintains your session as you navigate the site (Session only)

Analytics Cookies (Optional)

  • ng_analytics_id - Anonymous identifier for analytics purposes (26 months)
  • ng_analytics_session - Groups actions taken during a single visit (30 minutes)

We don't use marketing, advertising, or social media cookies.

Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers offer "Do Not Track" features that send signals to websites requesting not to be tracked. Currently, there's no universal standard for how websites should respond to these signals.

We respect privacy regardless of Do Not Track settings by limiting our data collection to what's necessary and using privacy-focused analytics. However, we don't specifically alter behaviour based on Do Not Track signals since our default approach is already privacy-respectful.

Updates to This Policy

We may update this cookies policy to reflect changes in our cookie usage or legal requirements. When we make significant changes, we'll update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and may display a notice on our website.

We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.
