In some cases, when applicable, we will provide you with the option of “opting in”; In such cases, we will require your affirmative action to indicate your consent before we use your information for purposes other than the purpose for which it was initially submitted.

We do this in order to determine the usefulness of our website information and to see how effective our website’s navigation infrastructure is in helping visitors find key information with ease. The information collected is generalized and includes no identifying or health-oriented information.

You can also refuse all cookies by turning them off in your browser, although you may not be able to take full advantage of ModernMD’s website if you do so.
