Cookie Policy

1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how Floating (“we”, “us”, “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on our website, floating.tools (“Floating”).

2. Cookies We Use

Floating uses only essential cookies — cookies that are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off. We do not use performance, analytics, or advertising cookies.

Candidates taking an assessment do not sign in and receive no tracking cookies; their assessment session is identified by the invitation link they were given.

3. Similar Technologies

We use your browser's local storage for functional preferences that never leave your device unless you submit them as part of an assessment:

• Theme preference: remembers whether you chose light or dark mode.
• Assessment workspace state: during an assessment, in-progress work such as AI-assistant chat threads is kept in local storage so it survives a page reload.

4. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies and local storage to:

• Keep hiring-team users signed in securely.
• Remember your display preferences.
• Preserve in-progress assessment work in your browser during a session.

We do not use cookies to track you across other websites, build advertising profiles, or measure marketing campaigns.

5. User Consent and Control

Because Floating sets only strictly necessary cookies, no cookie consent banner is required. You can remove our cookie at any time by signing out or by clearing cookies in your browser settings, and you can clear local storage the same way.

6. Third-Party Cookies

We do not set third-party tracking or advertising cookies, and we do not use third-party analytics services. Some assessments may embed third-party tools inside the workspace; when they do, those tools may set their own cookies, which are governed by the respective third party's privacy policy.

7. Managing Cookies

You can manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. Note that blocking our essential cookie will prevent hiring-team users from signing in. For more information on how to manage cookies, visit your browser's help section or allaboutcookies.org.

8. Changes to the Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Cookie Policy on this page. The “Last Updated” date at the top of this policy will indicate when it was last revised.
