Third-Party Ad Networks

We may use third parties such as network advertisers to display advertisements on our Sites, to assist us in displaying advertisements on third party websites, and to evaluate the success of our advertising campaigns. Network advertisers are third parties that display advertisements based on your visits to our Site as well as other websites. This enables us and these third parties to target advertisements by displaying ads for products and services in which you might be interested. Third party ad network providers, advertisers, sponsors and/or traffic measurement services may use cookies, JavaScript, web beacons (including clear GIFs), Flash LSOs and other technologies to measure the effectiveness of their ads and to personalize advertising content to you.

Opting out of one or more NAI member or DAA member networks (many of which will be the same) only means that those members no longer will deliver targeted content or ads to you. It does not mean you will no longer receive any targeted content or ads on our Site or other websites. You may continue to receive advertisements, for example, based on the particular website that you are viewing. Also, if your browsers are configured to reject cookies when you visit this opt-out page, or you subsequently erase your cookies, use a different computer or change web browsers, your NAI or DAA opt-out may no longer be effective.

About Us
AMERICAN GERMAN ROLLSHUTTERS & SHADES American German Rollshutters and Shades have been manufacturing and installing quality products since 1976. In the beginning, we imported components directly from Germany to produce our Rolladen™ Rollshutters. By request of many of our builders and satisfied customers, we expanded our product line to include interior and exterior shade systems and retractable awnings. Before adding these products, we researched fabrics, extrusions, and automated systems to ensure they meet our quality product requirements.
