We investigate the effects induced by spin polarization in the contacts attached to a serial double quantum dot. The polarization generates effective magnetic fields and suppresses the Kondo effect in each dot. The super-exchange interaction ($J_{\mathrm{AFM}}$), tuned by the inter-dot tunnelling rate $t$, can be used to compensate the effective fields and restore the Kondo resonance when the contact polarizations are aligned. As a consequence, the direction of the spin conductance can be controlled and even reversed using electrostatic gates alone. Furthermore, we study the associated two-impurity Kondo model and show that a ferromagnetic exchange coupling ($J_{\mathrm{FM}}$) leads to an effective spin-1 exchange-anisotropic Kondo model which exhibits a quantum phase transition in the presence of partially polarized contacts.
