Cookie Policy
Last updated: 30 June 2026.
This Cookie Policy explains how The Future Mill LLC ("SortedResearch", "we", "us") uses cookies and similar technologies on sortedresearch.com (the "Service"). It supplements our Privacy Policy.
We keep cookies to a minimum. We currently use no advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device. They are used to remember information between page loads and visits, for example to keep you signed in or to remember a setting. Similar technologies (such as local storage) work in comparable ways and are covered by this policy.
2. Cookies we use
| Cookie | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| One-response-per-device | Functional | Prevents a participant from submitting more than one response per device for a study (deduplication) | ~180 days |
| Authentication / session | Strictly necessary | Keeps signed-in researchers logged in and secures their session | Session |
3. Categories explained
- Strictly necessary cookies are required for the Service to work (e.g. authentication). These do not require consent.
- Functional cookies improve how the Service works (e.g. the one-response-per-device deduplication cookie). Depending on jurisdiction, these may require consent.
- We do not use advertising, marketing, or cross-site tracking cookies.
4. Consent (EU / UK and similar)
For visitors in the EU, UK, and other jurisdictions that require it, we present a cookie consent banner for any non-essential cookies before setting them. Strictly necessary cookies are set without consent because they are required for the Service to function. You can change your choices at any time through your browser settings.
5. How to control cookies
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings, including blocking or removing existing cookies. If you block strictly necessary cookies, parts of the Service (such as signing in) may not work. Help pages for common browsers:
- Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge each provide cookie controls in their privacy/settings menus.
You can also manage non-essential cookies via our consent banner where shown.
6. Changes
We may update this Cookie Policy as our use of cookies changes. We will post the updated version with a new "Last updated" date.
