Last updated: 15.03.2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Larkup uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit or use our website and platform.
Larkup is an AI infrastructure platform that helps educational institutions create accounts, manage workflows, and collaborate effectively. In connection with these services, we use cookies and similar technologies to operate the platform, remember your choices, protect accounts, and, where applicable, analyse and improve our services.
1. Who is responsible for processing
The controller responsible for processing personal data in connection with this website and platform is:
Larkup Inc.
Email: info@larkup.com
Website: https://larkup.com
2. What are cookies and similar technologies
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device or accessed from your device when you visit a website or use an online service. We may also use similar technologies, such as local storage, pixels, tags, scripts, SDKs, or comparable storage and tracking technologies. In this Cookie Policy, we refer to all of these technologies collectively as "cookies" unless a distinction is required.
3. Why we use cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:
- to enable core platform functions, such as account login, session continuity, security, and fraud prevention;
- to remember user choices and settings, such as language, onboarding state, and user interface preferences;
- to support platform functionality, such as maintaining state while you browse, use filters, or move through account flows;
- to measure how our website and platform are used and improve performance and usability, where we have the required consent;
- to support marketing, attribution, or social-media-related functionality, where we have the required consent.
4. Legal basis
Where cookies or similar technologies are strictly necessary to provide the service you have expressly requested or to transmit a communication, we rely on the applicable exemption under Section 25(2) TDDDG. Where personal data are processed in connection with such strictly necessary technologies, we rely on the legal basis that is appropriate for the relevant processing operation under Article 6 GDPR, for example performance of a contract, compliance with a legal obligation, or legitimate interests where applicable.
Where cookies or similar technologies are not strictly necessary, we use them only with your prior consent. In those cases, the legal basis is your consent under Section 25(1) TDDDG and, where personal data are processed, Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.
You may withdraw or change your consent at any time with effect for the future by using the "Cookie settings" link available on our website.
5. Categories of cookies we use
A. Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are required for the operation, security, and basic functionality of Larkup. Without them, the website or platform cannot function properly.
This category may include cookies or similar technologies used for:
- login and authentication;
- session management;
- account security and abuse prevention;
- load balancing and technical stability;
- storing your cookie consent choices;
- maintaining state during core account, onboarding, or messaging-related flows where technically required.
These cookies are always active and cannot be switched off in our cookie settings interface.
B. Functional / preference cookies
These cookies help us remember your settings and choices in order to improve your experience. Depending on how our platform is configured, this may include remembering interface preferences, saved choices during onboarding, or similar convenience features that are not strictly necessary for the service to work.
We use these cookies only if you consent, unless a specific feature is strictly necessary for a service you expressly requested.
C. Analytics cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors and users interact with Larkup, for example which pages are viewed, how users move through the site, which features are used, and where technical or usability issues may occur.
We use analytics cookies only with your consent.
If analytics tools are enabled on Larkup, we will list them in the cookie table below together with the provider, purpose, duration, and any relevant data transfer information.
D. Marketing cookies
These cookies may be used to measure the effectiveness of campaigns, support attribution, prevent repeated display of the same advertising, or personalise marketing content across services.
We use marketing cookies only with your consent.
If Larkup does not use marketing cookies, this category should either remain inactive in practice or be removed from the live cookie table.
6. How consent works on Larkup
When you first visit Larkup, you are given a choice to accept all optional cookies, reject all optional cookies, or manage your preferences by category. Optional cookies are not activated unless and until you give consent.
You can change your preferences or withdraw your consent at any time by selecting the "Cookie settings" link or button available on the website. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.
7. Browser controls
Most browsers also allow you to manage cookies through browser settings. For example, you may be able to block cookies, delete existing cookies, or receive notifications before cookies are stored. Please note that blocking or deleting strictly necessary cookies may affect the availability or functionality of Larkup, including account login and secure session handling.
Browser settings do not replace the consent controls we provide on the website for optional cookies.
8. Recipients and service providers
Depending on which services are active on Larkup and which choices you make in the cookie settings, personal data collected through cookies may be disclosed to:
- hosting and infrastructure providers;
- authentication and security service providers;
- analytics providers;
- customer support or communication providers;
- marketing or attribution providers, if enabled;
- consent management providers.
Where specific providers are used, they should be listed in the cookie table below or in the linked Privacy Policy.
9. International data transfers
Some service providers may process personal data outside the European Union or the European Economic Area. Where this is the case, we will indicate it in the cookie table below or in our Privacy Policy.
If we transfer personal data to a third country, we will do so only in accordance with applicable data protection law and will state the relevant transfer mechanism where required, such as an adequacy decision or appropriate safeguards.
10. Retention periods
The duration for which a cookie remains on your device depends on whether it is a session cookie or a persistent cookie.
- Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser or end your session.
- Persistent cookies remain on your device until they expire automatically or are deleted.
The specific retention period for each cookie or similar technology should be listed in the cookie table below.
