Cookie Policy

Effective date: 27 July 2026 — Last updated: 27 July 2026

This policy explains how Northern Engineering (Sheffield) Limited (“NES”, “we”) uses cookies and similar technologies on www.nes-ips.com. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help websites work properly, remember your preferences, and understand how the site is used.

How we ask for your consent

When you first visit our website, a cookie banner asks whether you accept optional cookies. We do not set any optional cookies until you agree. You can accept all, reject all, or choose categories individually.

You can change your mind at any time — click “Cookie Settings” in the website footer, or use the change your cookie choices link on this page, to reopen the banner and update or withdraw your consent. Withdrawing consent is as easy as giving it.

The categories we use

Strictly necessary. Required for the website and the consent banner itself to work. These do not need consent and cannot be switched off.

Analytics. Help us understand how visitors use our website — which pages are popular, how people find us, and where the site could be improved. We use Google Analytics for this. Set only with your consent.

Advertising. Help us measure whether our online advertising works (for example, whether an advertisement led to an enquiry) and allow Google to show our advertisements to people who have visited our website (“remarketing”). Set only with your consent.
