1. Introduction
When you visit itemsbox.lt, we place small files called cookies on your device. Some are essential for the website to function; others help us understand how visitors use our site or allow us to show you relevant content.
This policy explains exactly what cookies we use, why, who operates them, how long they last, and how you can manage or withdraw your consent at any time.
We operate our cookie banner in compliance with the EU ePrivacy Directive (2002/58/EC), as implemented in Lithuanian law, and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Non-essential cookies are only placed after you give your explicit consent.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your browser or device when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device on subsequent visits and remember certain information — such as items in your shopping cart or your language preference.
Cookies are not programs and cannot execute code or deliver viruses. They can only be read by the website that set them or, in the case of third-party cookies, by the third party that placed them.
Similar technologies — such as web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage — work in comparable ways and are covered by this policy wherever relevant.
3. Categories of Cookies We Use
We group our cookies into four categories based on their purpose:
3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function correctly. Without them, core features such as the shopping cart, checkout, account login, and cookie consent preferences cannot operate. They do not collect data for marketing or analytics purposes.
You cannot opt out of strictly necessary cookies through our cookie banner, as they are required for the site to work. However, you can block them via your browser settings — note that doing so may prevent the website from functioning properly.
Legal basis: Legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) / exempt from consent requirement under the ePrivacy Directive.

Legal basis: Consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You must opt in via the cookie banner.

3.4 Marketing Cookies
Marketing cookies track your browsing activity across websites to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements. They are set by third-party advertising platforms. If you do not consent to marketing cookies, you will still see ads, but they will not be personalised based on your behaviour.

5. How to Manage Your Cookie Preferences
5.1 Cookie Banner
When you first visit itemsbox.lt, a cookie banner is displayed allowing you to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customise your preferences by category. You can change your preferences at any time by clicking the „Cookie Settings” link in the footer of our website.
5.2 Withdrawing Consent
You may withdraw your consent to non-essential cookies at any time. Withdrawing consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing that took place prior to withdrawal. After withdrawal, non-essential cookies already stored on your device will remain until they expire or are manually deleted — they will simply not be refreshed or read by us.
6. Cookies and Personal Data
Some cookies — particularly analytics and marketing cookies — may process personal data or data that can be combined with other information to identify you. Where this is the case, such processing is governed by our Privacy Policy, which sets out the legal bases for processing, data retention periods, your rights, and how to exercise them.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, new legal requirements, or updated third-party services. Changes will be posted on this page with a revised „Last updated” date. Where significant changes are made — particularly the addition of new non-essential cookies — we will re-prompt your consent via the cookie banner.
