SiteTrust Network uses cookies to keep track of user login sessions as well as to keep track of the identity of a visitor's referrer. Once a member logs off the SiteTrust Network site using the Log Out link the session cookie is deleted from their computer. Once a user creates a member account, the referrer cookie is deleted from their computer.
