This Cookie Policy explains how cookies and similar technologies may be used on this website, what types of cookies may be used, why they are used, and how visitors can manage their cookie preferences.
This website, vidabarkauskiene.com, may use cookies and similar technologies to make the website function properly, improve security, remember visitor preferences, understand general website usage, and support lawful consent management.
This Cookie Policy should be read together with the Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. It applies to visitors who access or use this website.
This website presents the professional background, experience, qualifications, certificates, and training history of Vida Barkauskienė.

Cookies are small text files that may be placed on your computer, phone, tablet, or other device when you visit a website. Cookies can help a website recognise your browser, remember settings, support security, and improve how the website works.
Similar technologies may include scripts, pixels, tags, local storage, session storage, and other technologies that store or access information on a visitor's device.
Cookies may be temporary session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them.
Cookies may be first-party cookies or third-party cookies.
Third-party providers may process information according to their own privacy and cookie policies. Where required by law, non-essential third-party cookies should not be placed unless the visitor has given consent.
This website may use different categories of cookies depending on the final website setup, features, consent settings, and services enabled.
| Cookie Category | Purpose | Consent Position |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary cookies | Used to make the website work properly, support security, remember consent choices, load pages, prevent abuse, and provide basic website functions. | These cookies are generally necessary for the website to function and do not usually require consent. |
| Preference cookies | Used to remember choices such as language, display settings, cookie preferences, or other visitor preferences. | May require consent depending on the cookie and applicable law. |
| Statistics or analytics cookies | Used to understand general website usage, such as pages visited, time spent on pages, browser type, device type, and general visitor behaviour. | Usually require consent unless configured in a strictly privacy-friendly way permitted by applicable law. |
| Marketing or tracking cookies | Used for advertising, remarketing, social media tracking, profiling, personalised content, or measuring advertising performance. | Usually require prior consent before being placed. |
Strictly necessary cookies are required for the website to operate correctly. They may be used for security, page loading, consent storage, form protection, fraud prevention, spam prevention, and basic technical operation.
These cookies do not usually require consent because the website cannot function properly without them. However, they should only be used for necessary technical purposes and not for unnecessary tracking or marketing.
This website uses Google Analytics 4 (measurement ID G-TKZDMM9HQL), loaded through Google Tag Manager, to understand how visitors use the website: which pages are visited, how visitors move through the site, whether pages work correctly, and how the website can be improved. IP addresses are anonymised and the data is not used for advertising.
Analytics cookies are set only after you accept the “Analytics” category in the cookie banner. If you reject non-essential cookies or withdraw consent later, Google Analytics does not load and its cookies are removed.
The table below lists every cookie this website sets for visitors at the date of this policy. Cookies used only for logged-in site administration are not listed because they are never set for visitors.
| Cookie | Set by | Purpose | Duration | Category |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| vida-consent | vidabarkauskiene.com (first party) | Stores the cookie choices you made in the banner so you are not asked again. | 12 months | Strictly necessary |
| _ga | Google Analytics 4 (Google Ireland Limited) | Distinguishes one visitor from another using a random identifier. Set only after you accept analytics cookies. | 2 years | Analytics |
| _ga_TKZDMM9HQL | Google Analytics 4 (Google Ireland Limited) | Keeps the state of your current visit (session) for this website’s analytics property. Set only after you accept analytics cookies. | 2 years | Analytics |
No preference or marketing cookies are used at present. The enquiry form’s spam protection (Cloudflare Turnstile) and the email-address protection on this site do not set cookies. If this list changes, this policy will be updated.
This website is primarily a professional information website. Marketing or tracking cookies are not required for the basic operation of the website.
If marketing, remarketing, advertising, social media, profiling, or similar tracking technologies are used in the future, they should be disclosed and should only be activated where legally permitted and, where required, after consent has been given.
This website may include embedded or externally loaded content, such as fonts, maps, videos, images, forms, analytics, security tools, or other external resources.
External services may set cookies or use similar technologies. Where these cookies are not strictly necessary, they should be managed through consent settings before they are activated.
Where required by law, visitors should be asked for consent before non-essential cookies are placed or accessed on their device.
Consent should be freely given, specific, informed, and capable of being withdrawn. Visitors should be able to accept, reject, or manage non-essential cookies by category where this is required or appropriate.
Refusing non-essential cookies should not prevent access to the basic website, although some optional features may not function in the same way.
Visitors may be able to manage cookie preferences through the cookie banner or cookie settings panel available on the website.
You may also manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block cookies, delete existing cookies, receive warnings before cookies are placed, or configure cookie rules for specific websites.
If you block or delete cookies, some website functions may not work properly. For example, the website may not remember your preferences or may ask you to make cookie choices again.
You can usually control cookies directly through your browser. The exact steps depend on the browser and device you use.
Common browser controls may allow you to:
Blocking cookies may affect the operation of some websites and may require you to manually adjust preferences each time you visit.
Cookies may remain on your device for different periods depending on their purpose and settings.
The exact retention period depends on the specific cookie. Cookies should not be kept for longer than necessary for their stated purpose.
Some cookies or similar technologies may collect or relate to personal data, such as IP address, device information, browser details, usage information, or online identifiers.
Where cookies involve the processing of personal data, that processing is also subject to the Privacy Policy.
Please review the Privacy Policy for more information about how personal data is collected, used, shared, protected, and retained.
Depending on applicable data protection law, you may have rights in relation to personal data collected through cookies and similar technologies.
