Cookie consent in Liechtenstein

Consent and privacy law in Liechtenstein

In short
Liechtenstein applies the GDPR through the EEA Agreement, implemented by its 2018 Data Protection Act and enforced by the Datenschutzstelle. As a small German-speaking microstate closely tied to Switzerland and the EEA, Liechtenstein follows EU practice on cookies, requiring consent for non-essential trackers. Guidance requires informed opt-in consent, clear information in German, and an easy reject path. The Datenschutzstelle processes complaints and issues guidance for controllers. Because of close financial sector links, data protection is taken seriously in banking and fiduciary services. Controllers should keep evidence of consent and avoid pre-ticked boxes.
