Cookie Policy
Last updated: 18 August 2026
What cookies are
Cookies and similar technologies such as local storage are small files placed on your device by a website. Some are needed for the site to work. Others are optional and only used if you agree to them.
How we ask for your consent
When you first visit Rich-Be.com, a banner asks whether you accept analytics and marketing cookies. Nothing optional is loaded before you choose, and nothing is pre-ticked. Rejecting is as easy as accepting. Your choice is stored for six months, after which we ask again.
Categories we use
- Necessary. Security, sign in, and remembering your cookie choice. These cannot be switched off.
- Analytics. Google Analytics 4 and Microsoft Clarity, used with Google Consent Mode and IP anonymisation, so we can see which pages are helpful and how visitors move through the site. Only loaded after you accept.
- Marketing. Advertising or social media pixels. We do not currently use any. The category exists so that, if we ever add one, it stays behind your consent.

You can change or withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawing analytics consent stops tracking and removes the Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity cookies from your device.
