Cookie Policy

This policy explains the cookies and similar technologies used on the Raqbash website and how you can control them.

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. Similar technologies such as local storage and session storage work the same way. They help a site remember your choices and understand how it is used.

2. Our approach

We use no advertising or cross-site marketing cookies. We use a small number of analytics cookies, which load by default and can be switched off at any time, and essential storage that makes the site work as expected.

3. Analytics cookies

Google Analytics 4 and Microsoft Clarity help us see which pages are useful, where visitors get stuck and how the site performs. Clarity records anonymised session replays (clicks, scrolls and page movement) and masks text typed into form fields.

Cookie	Provider	Purpose	Duration
`_ga`	Google Analytics	Distinguishes unique visitors.	2 years
`_ga_<ID>`	Google Analytics	Keeps session state for GA4 reporting.	2 years
`_clck`	Microsoft Clarity	Stores a Clarity user ID and preferences.	1 year
`_clsk`	Microsoft Clarity	Connects page views into a single session recording.	1 day
`CLID, MUID`	Microsoft (clarity.ms)	Third-party identifiers used by Clarity to recognise browsers across visits.	1 year

4. Essential storage

Name	Type	Purpose	Duration
`raqbash_analytics_consent`	Local storage	Remembers whether you accepted or declined analytics.	Until cleared
`theme`	Local storage	Remembers light or dark mode.	Until cleared

5. Third-party tools

When you open the booking window, Calendly loads and may set its own cookies to run the scheduler. Chatting with us via the WhatsApp button takes you to WhatsApp, which applies Meta's cookie and privacy policies. Links to our social media profiles work the same way.

6. How to opt out

On this site: open and choose “Decline”. Analytics stop immediately, their cookies are removed, and they will not load again on this browser.
In your browser: block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking all cookies may affect how some sites work.
Google Analytics: install Google's opt-out browser add-on.
