This Cookie Policy explains how YK Design (“we”, “us”, and “our”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website at https://yk-design.co.uk/. It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control our use of them.
For information on how we handle your broader personal data, please read our Privacy Policy.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are downloaded and saved onto your computer, tablet, or smartphone when you visit a website. They allow a website to recognize your device and store small amounts of information about your preferences or past actions.
We also use “similar technologies” like tracking pixels, web beacons, and local storage scripts, which serve a similar purpose. In this policy, we refer to all of these tools collectively as “Cookies.”
2. The Types of Cookies We Use
We group the cookies used on our website into three main categories:
A. Strictly Necessary & Functional Cookies (Always Active)
These cookies are essential for our website to function properly, load securely, and adapt seamlessly to your device layout or preference choices (such as screen size or dark mode settings).
- Consent: Under UK law, these “low-risk” operational cookies do not require your prior consent.
B. Statistical & Performance Cookies (Optional)
We use aggregate analytics cookies (like Google Analytics) to gather anonymous, statistical data about how visitors find and interact with our website (e.g., measuring page visits, loading speeds, and popular links).
- Consent: These cookies are used purely to improve our digital services. They aggregate behavior data and do not identify or profile you individually. You can freely object to them via our cookie banner at any time.
C. Marketing & Advertising Cookies (Optional)
If we run promotional campaigns, these third-party cookies (like Meta/Facebook pixels or LinkedIn tags) may be placed to track the success of our ads or build basic interest profiles so you see more relevant creative work elsewhere.
- Consent: These cookies will never load unless you explicitly click “Accept All” or turn them on via our cookie preference center.

4. How to Manage and Control Cookies
