Privacy and cookie policy
This page outlines how B. Kim Barnes Consulting collects, uses, and protects your information, and how you control tracking cookies.
Last updated: October 2026
B. Kim Barnes Consulting operates bkimbarnesconsulting.com. We respect your right to privacy and give you control over analytics cookies and tracking technologies.
Prior consent policy
We follow a strict prior-consent model. When you arrive on this site, no tracking pixels, analytics scripts, or session recording tools load until you choose to accept them. If you dismiss the banner or select "Decline", no analytics scripts run and no tracking cookies are set.
Third-party tools and analytics
If you choose to accept tracking, the site loads two third-party measurement services:
1. Google Analytics 4 (Google LLC)
Google Analytics measures website traffic, page visits, and referral sources. We run Google Analytics with IP anonymization enabled. This service sets cookies such as _ga to distinguish unique visitors.
2. Microsoft Clarity (Microsoft Corporation)
Microsoft Clarity provides aggregate behavior metrics, heatmaps, and session navigation replay to help us find broken links and improve site layout. Clarity masks text entries in form inputs so that personal keystrokes are not captured. Clarity sets cookies such as _clck and _clsk.
Direct form submissions
When you schedule a consultation or sign up through our "Stay in the loop" form, you provide information such as your name, email address, phone number, and meeting notes.
We use this information only to respond to your inquiry and carry out consulting conversations. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information with external parties.
How to manage or revoke your consent
You can change your cookie preferences at any time. Clicking "Cookie Preferences" in the website footer or clicking the button below opens your choice dialog:
When you click "Decline", any previously set analytics cookies are deleted and the tracking disabled flag is applied. You can also block or clear cookies directly through your web browser settings.
Your legal rights
Depending on your location (including the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and US states such as California, Colorado, or Virginia), you have specific rights regarding your personal data:
- The right to know what personal information we hold about you.
- The right to request deletion of your contact details from our records.
- The right to withdraw your consent to analytics tracking at any time.
- The right to non-discrimination for exercising your privacy choices.
