Cookie Policy (UK)
Last updated 22 August 2026.
This policy explains the cookies and similar technologies used on mydesigna.co.uk, what they do, and how you can control them. It covers the DesigNA online store operated by Double Strand Ltd (company number 15005294).
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They let a site remember your actions and preferences, keep your basket working, and help the site owner understand how the site is used. Some similar technologies, such as local storage and pixels, do a comparable job and are covered by this policy too.
Your choices
When you first visit, a consent banner asks whether you accept cookies. You can accept all, decline, or open Manage preferences to choose by category. Strictly necessary cookies are always set, because the site cannot function without them. Analytics and marketing cookies are only set after you accept.
You can change your mind at any time by clearing cookies for this site in your browser, which brings the banner back on your next visit. You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings, though parts of the store may stop working if you block the strictly necessary ones.
Categories we use
1. Strictly necessary
Always active. These keep the store working: remembering your basket, your chosen currency and region, keeping you signed in, and protecting checkout. They are not used for advertising.

2. Analytics
Only set if you accept. These tell us how many people visit, which pages they read, and where they arrive from, so we can improve the store. We look at this as aggregated statistics, not to identify you personally.
