Use of Cookies

For example, if you personalize STEM Tutoring pages, or register with STEM Tutoring site or services, a cookie helps STEM Tutoring to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same STEM Tutoring Website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the STEM Tutoring features that you customized. You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer.
