Cookies and similar browser technologies can remember preferences, help websites function and measure how visitors use a site. DesignsCtrl separates essential functionality from non-essential analytics or marketing tags.
1. Essential storage
Our cookie banner stores your choice in your browser under the local-storage key designsctrl_cookie_consent. This preference is necessary to remember whether you accepted or rejected non-essential technologies. Local storage is browser storage and is not itself sent to our server with every page request.
2. Google Tag Manager
DesignsCtrl uses Google Tag Manager to manage measurement and marketing tags. Our website starts with analytics and advertising consent denied. The GTM container is only loaded after you select Accept Cookies. If you reject non-essential cookies, those tags remain blocked by our website configuration.
3. Analytics & marketing technologies
After consent, tags configured through Google Tag Manager may collect information such as pages viewed, referral source, browser/device characteristics and interactions with website elements. The exact cookies present can depend on which tags are active in the GTM container at the time of your visit.
4. Third-party cookies
Third-party services loaded after consent may set their own cookies and process data according to their own privacy terms. DesignsCtrl does not control the lifespan or naming of cookies set directly by third-party providers.
5. Changing your choice
Use the Cookie Preferences control in the footer or on this page to reopen the banner. You can also remove stored website data in your browser settings. Rejecting non-essential cookies does not prevent you from using the core DesignsCtrl website.
6. Updates
We may update this policy if our analytics, marketing or website technologies change. The effective date at the top shows the latest published version.
