This website is operated by Rikaz International General Trading L.L.C. It has no user accounts. The contact and quote forms send us what you type in them, together with your IP address and country, so that we can answer you and keep out automated abuse.

What the site stores in your browser. One cookie, rikaz_market, remembers the country and language you chose, for one year. One value in your tab's session storage, an anonymous random id, lets us count a visit as one visit; it disappears when the tab closes. If you press OK on the small line at the bottom of the page, one more cookie, rikaz_vid, holds a random visitor id for 13 months so that we recognise a returning visit; without the OK it is never set and the site works the same.

What we measure. Which pages, products and stories are opened, which words are searched, from which country, in which language, on what kind of device, and where visitors come from (the referring site). Together with each of these events we store your IP address in full, the date and time, and the ids named above. We use the statistics to understand which products interest which markets, and the IP address to recognise and block abuse, scraping and fraud (our legitimate interest). The data is stored on our own servers and deleted after 24 months.

Google Analytics. This site also uses Google Analytics 4 without cookies (consent mode fixed to denied): Google receives page views and clicks as anonymous pings. Google processes the data under its own terms; you can opt out with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

Pictures and delivery. Pages and pictures are delivered through Cloudflare, which processes connection data to protect and speed up the site.
