How We Use Cookies and Similar Technologies

Last updated: November 22, 2025

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help us deliver secure browsing sessions, remember your preferences, and understand how visitors use our site.

Types of Cookies We Use

  • Essential cookies: Required for site security, load balancing, fraud prevention, and the HubSpot form embed that powers consultation requests.
  • Performance & analytics cookies: Set by Google Analytics 4 (through Google Tag Manager) to record anonymized page views, CTA interactions, scroll depth, and HubSpot form lifecycle events.
  • Preference cookies: Remember region-specific content (for example, recently viewed service areas) to reduce repeated inputs.

We do not use cookies for interest-based advertising or cross-site profiling. Each third-party vendor processes data under strict instructions, and IP addresses are truncated before analytics reports are generated.

Technologies We Deploy

Tool Purpose Retention Opt-out
Google Tag Manager Loads analytics and measurement tags so we can manage tracking centrally without editing every page. Does not set new cookies itself; relies on downstream tags. Disable scripts via browser extensions or block `googletagmanager.com`.
Google Analytics 4 Measures CTA clicks, navigation events, scroll depth, and city page engagement to improve ADU resources. 14 months (default GA4 retention). Browser add-on or send us an opt-out request.
HubSpot Forms Embeds our consultation form, stores drafts, and tracks submission state to prevent duplicate entries. Until the session ends or submission is complete. Decline optional cookies, block third-party scripts, or email privacy@eliteadubuilders.com.

Vendors may update cookie names over time. We review tag configurations regularly and remove partners that no longer serve a site utility purpose.

Managing Your Preferences

You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block non-essential cookies, delete existing cookies, or receive alerts before storage occurs.

  • Visit your browser’s help center for step-by-step instructions.
  • Use private browsing modes to limit cookie storage.
  • Install trusted browser extensions that control analytics scripts.

Global Privacy Control & Opt-Out Requests

We honor browser-based Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals for applicable legal requests, including “Do Not Sell or Share” preferences under California law. You can also email privacy@eliteadubuilders.com to opt out of analytics tracking where feasible.

Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this policy as we add new features or analytics partners. Material changes will be reflected with a new “last updated” date and summarized on this page.
