How we use cookies
We use three categories of cookies on this website. Strictly necessary cookies are always active. Analytics and marketing cookies load only after you opt in through the Cookie Settings banner. You can change your choices at any time by clicking or visiting Your Privacy Choices. Until you opt in, no analytics or advertising scripts load on this site (we use Google Consent Mode v2 in default-denied state).
Strictly necessary (always on)
Required to operate the site, authenticate users, prevent fraud, and remember your consent choice. These cookies cannot be disabled.

A note on session replay (Microsoft Clarity)
Microsoft Clarity is a session-replay tool. When enabled by your consent, it records mouse movement, clicks, scrolls, and the rendered page so we can review aggregate UX issues. Clarity automatically masks form inputs by default and we configure it to redact content marked as sensitive. We do not use replays to identify individual users; the goal is to find broken pages and confusing flows. You can opt out at any time via the Cookie Settings banner or your browser's privacy controls.
Desktop app
Sortio's desktop application stores local settings on your device and does not set website cookies. Optional diagnostics and telemetry inside the app are off by default for EEA and UK users and require your opt-in in Settings, Privacy.
Managing your choices
Open at any time, or visit Your Privacy Choices for the US state opt-out form. We honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals automatically.
