Cookie consent in Lietuva

Consent and privacy law in Lietuva

In short
Lithuania enforces the GDPR through the VDAI, the State Data Protection Inspectorate, supported by the national Law on Legal Protection of Personal Data. Cookie rules derive from the Law on Electronic Communications and require consent for non-essential cookies. Lithuanian guidance requires opt-in consent, clear information in Lithuanian, and an easy reject path. The VDAI treats online identifiers as personal data and has issued guidance on consent and direct marketing. Controllers should keep evidence of consent, describe each tracking purpose, and avoid relying on implied consent or pre-ticked boxes.
