<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:Event/etc/events.xsd">
    <event name="controller_action_predispatch_cms_page_view">
        <observer name="add_login_checker" 
        instance="Vendor\Extension\Observer\Restrictcmspage" />
    </event>       
</config>

<?php
namespace Vendor\Extension\Observer;

use Magento\Framework\Event\ObserverInterface;
use Magento\Framework\Event\Observer;
use Magento\Customer\Model\Session as CustomerSession;

class Restrictcmspage implements ObserverInterface
{
   
    protected $_actionFlag;
   
    public function __construct(
        CustomerSession $customerSession,
        \Magento\Framework\App\ActionFlag $actionFlag,
        \Magento\Framework\App\Response\RedirectInterface $redirect
        )
    {
        $this->customerSession = $customerSession;
        $this->_actionFlag = $actionFlag;
        $this->redirect = $redirect;
    }
    public function execute(Observer $observer)
    {
        if (!$this->customerSession->authenticate()) 
       {

            $this->_actionFlag->set('', \Magento\Framework\App\Action\Action::FLAG_NO_DISPATCH, true);
            if (!$this->customerSession->getBeforeUrl()) 
            {
                $this->customerSession->setBeforeUrl($this->redirect->getRefererUrl());
            }
        }
        return  $this;
    }
