Cookie Notice
Last updated: October 5, 2026
This Cookie Notice explains which cookies and similar technologies American Building Development uses on abdteam.com, why we use them, and how you can control them. It supplements our Privacy Policy.
How your choices work
Necessary cookies are always on because the site and our forms cannot work without them. Analytics and Advertising tools are optional and stay off until you allow them. Rejecting them does not affect your ability to browse the site, use the siding cost calculator, upload project photos, or request an estimate.
Scrolling, continuing to browse, submitting a form, or accepting our Terms of Use is not consent to optional cookies.
We store your choice in a first-party cookie named abd_consent for 12 months. It records only which categories you allowed, whether you opted out of sale/sharing, the version of this notice, and the time of your choice. If you clear your cookies or use a different browser or device, we will ask again.
If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, we treat it as a request to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information and keep Advertising off while the signal is present. Choosing “Accept all” does not override a GPC signal or an opt-out you made earlier.
Change your cookie settings
You can review or change your choices at any time using the Cookie settings link in the footer of every page. When you turn a category off, we stop loading those tools and delete the cookies they set on abdteam.com; the page reloads to apply the change. Cookies that a provider sets on its own domain (for example, clarity.ms) can only be deleted in your browser settings.
Your Privacy Choices (opt out of sale/sharing)
Advertising tools may involve “sharing” personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, as defined by California law. You can opt out on this browser at any time using Your Privacy Choices in the footer. No account or identity verification is needed. Your opt-out is kept even if you later choose “Accept all”; to allow Advertising again, you must switch it on in Cookie settings. To ask us to access or delete your information, follow the steps in our Privacy Policy.

Embedded content and links
Some pages show videos from YouTube in privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com), which does not set YouTube cookies until you play a video. When you play a video, YouTube (Google) may store information in your browser under its own policies. Links to social networks, Google Maps or our other websites take you to sites with their own cookie practices; your choices here do not carry over to them.
