Understanding Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, with your permission, in order to enable websites to operate in certain ways, such as remembering what pages you have visited. They are widely used to store and receive identifiers and other information on computers, smartphones, and other devices.

In addition to cookies, Modera uses other digital technologies, such as web beacons (pixel tags), local storage objects, and scripts, for similar purposes. In this cookie disclosure, we refer to all of these tracking tools as “cookies.”

First-party cookies are placed directly by Modera or our website provider. Third-party cookies are placed by third parties such as Google and Meta, to collect analytics, advertising, video, or social media data. Cookies may be categorized by how long they remain active. Session cookies generally expire when you close your browser, while persistent cookies remain on your device for a longer period or until manually deleted.

Modera uses the following types of first- and third-party cookies. Necessary cookies are always active but the other types may be toggled on or off when you first visit our website and saved in your cookie settings:

Necessary cookies (always active): These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms.
Analytics cookies: These cookies help us to understand how visitors engage with the website. In addition to reporting site usage statistics, data collected may also be used, together with the advertising cookies described below, to help show more relevant ads across the web and to measure interactions with the ads we show.
Advertisement cookies: We use cookies to make our ads more engaging and valuable to site visitors. Some common applications of cookies are to select advertising based on what’s relevant to a user; to improve reporting on ad campaign performance; and to avoid showing ads the user has already seen.
Functionality cookies: We use a set of cookies that are optional for the website to function. They are usually only set in response to information provided to the website to personalize and optimize your experience.
