Cookie Policy

This page explains how we use cookies and similar technologies to improve your experience, support core site functions, and understand how Sortd is used.

Last updated: 16 April 2026

Quick summary

  • Some cookies are needed for the site to work properly.
  • Non-essential cookies are only used where you give consent.
  • Analytics and affiliate tracking cookies support performance measurement and referral attribution.
  • You can manage or withdraw consent at any time through the cookie banner and browser settings.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember information about your visit and can make the site work more smoothly.

Sortd uses cookies and similar technologies to support core functionality, remember preferences, understand usage, and measure how our comparison and switching journeys perform.

2. How we use cookies

We use different categories of cookies depending on what they are needed for.

Essential cookies are used as part of the service. Non-essential cookies, including analytics and affiliate tracking cookies, are only used where you have given consent.

Essential cookies

These cookies are needed for core site functions such as login and session handling, account access, security protections, and remembering cookie choices. Without them, parts of Sortd may not work properly.

  • login or session handling
  • security and fraud prevention
  • remembering cookie consent choices

Analytics cookies

These cookies help us understand how people use Sortd, which pages are working well, where users drop off, and what needs improving. This helps us make the product clearer and easier to use.

  • understanding visits, page usage, and journey drop-off
  • measuring product performance and UX improvements
  • supporting analytics tools now or in future

Affiliate and tracking cookies

These cookies are used to track referrals to providers or partners and to attribute actions such as clicks, quote requests, and, where relevant, completed switches. This helps Sortd measure performance and, where relevant, receive referral or affiliate commission.

  • tracking referrals to partners or providers
  • attributing quote requests or switches
  • measuring partner and campaign performance

Functional cookies

These cookies help Sortd remember your preferences and make the experience smoother. They are not always strictly necessary, but they can improve how the site works for you.

  • remembering preferences or settings
  • making the site easier to use on return visits
  • supporting a more consistent user experience

3. Third-party cookies

Some cookies may be set by third-party services we use to help run Sortd. This may include analytics tools, affiliate or partner tracking tools, and embedded or support services.

These third parties may process data collected through their cookies under their own privacy and cookie policies. Where a third-party cookie is non-essential, it will only be used where consent is required and has been given.

4. Managing cookies

You can control cookies in a few ways. You can use browser settings to block or delete cookies, and you can use Sortd's cookie banner and consent controls to review, change, or withdraw your consent for non-essential cookies at any time.

Please note that if you disable certain cookies, some parts of the site may not work properly. For example, sign-in, session handling, saved preferences, or other features may not behave as expected.

Browser controls and Sortd's cookie controls work together: browser settings can block or delete cookies more broadly, while Sortd's consent controls let you manage choices for cookies used on the platform.

5. Future use of cookies

Sortd is still evolving, and the way we use cookies may develop as we add new features, product flows, analytics tools, provider integrations, and affiliate tracking capabilities. New tools or features may introduce additional cookies or similar technologies.

If that happens, we will update this page so it continues to reflect how cookies and similar technologies are used across the platform, and we will request consent where required before using new non-essential cookies.
