If you are not happy, then you should either not use our website(s), set your web browser to not accept cookies from STN or use your web browser\u2019s anonymous browsing setting (this is called \u2018Incognito\u2019 in Google Chrome, \u2018InPrivate\u2019 in Internet Explorer and \u2018Private Browsing\u2019 in Firefox).

Session Cookies<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

We use a number of session cookies to provide functionality including, but not limited to, remembering who you are when you have logged into our website(s) or learning systems, to identify you when you move from one\u00a0 STN system to another, to greet you by name on screen, to optimise the effectiveness of our web servers and to remember the items you have put into our shopping basket.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

We consider these cookies to be strictly necessary for the secure and efficient operation of our website(s) and learning systems and make your experience of using them easier and quicker.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>
