Most browsers provide a mode of usage which: (i) has no cached data when a new tab is opened; and (ii) deletes all data cached for a tab when the tab is closed. This mode is not suitable for general-purpose browsing [where you may want to preserve data that the browser places on your device (desktop, laptop, notebook, table, smartphone, etc.)], but may be ideal for browsing our website, as our server does not place any data on your device. Private browsing can be accessed from your browser's menu.
We emphasize that you must open a new private tab to obtain a web page from our server. All of the browsers mentioned below have facilities to delete tabs (both private and standard) when they are no longer of use to you, and you should do this cleanup to reduce the amount of memory that your device allocates to your browser(s).
Android systems:

Incognito tab. Enter the URL (https://lrn-en.org or
that of your student page) to load the page from our server.
To return to standard (non-Incognito) tabs, tap the number in the square at the top right of your screen and then the number in the square in the middle of your screen.
