At Starks, we use different types of cookies on the website, including strictly necessary, performance, advertising, and social media or content cookies. Cookies enhance your browsing experience by allowing the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login and region selection). This means you don’t have to re-enter this information every time you return to the site or navigate from one page to another. Cookies also help us gather on how people use the website, for instance whether it’s their first time visiting or if they are a frequent visitor.

We also use functional cookies to remember choices you’ve made or information you’ve provided, such as your username, language, or the region you are in. This allows us to tailor your website experience specifically to your preferences. For example, authentication cookies are functional cookies that allow users to authenticate themselves on subsequent visits or to gain access to authorised content across pages. The functional cookies we use include:
User-centric security cookies to detect authentication abuses for a limited persistent duration, like repeated failed login attempts. These cookies are specifically designed to increase the security of the service.

These cookies only gather information for statistical purposes and use pseudonymous cookie identifiers that do not directly identify you. The performance cookies we use include:
First party analytics cookies - We use these cookies to estimate the number of unique visitors, to improve our websites and our merchants’ websites, and to detect the most searched-for words in search engines that lead to a webpage.

These cookies “remember” what our users have done on previous pages and how they’ve interacted with the website. For more information on Google Analytics, please visit Google’s information page.

These cookies remember that you visited our website, and we may share this information with third-parties, such as advertisers. Although these cookies can track your device’s visits to our website and other sites, they typically cannot personally identify you. Without these cookies, the advertisements you see may be less relevant and interesting to you. Read more about how companies use cookies to conduct targeted or retargeted advertising here. We do not set advertising cookies through our merchants’ storefronts ourselves, although merchants may choose to do so independently.
Finally, Social and Content cookies are placed by many social media plugins (such as the Facebook ’like’ button), and other tools meant to provide or improve the content on a website, (for example services that allow the playing of video files, or that create comments sections). We integrate these modules into our platform to improve the browsing and interaction experience on our websites. Please note that some of these third-party services place cookies that are also used for things like behavioural advertising, analytics, and/or market research.
How long will cookies remain on my computer or mobile device?

Session cookies last until you stop browsing, and persistent cookies last until they expire or are deleted. Most of the cookies we use are persistent and will expire between 30 minutes and two years from the date they are downloaded to your device. Please refer to the section below on how to control cookies for more information on removing them before they expire.

FEES
To use the Starks Associate Service, you may be required to make one or more payments and provide us with information regarding your credit card. You represent and warrant to Starks Associate that such information is true and that you are authorised to use the payment instrument.
You will promptly update your account information with any changes (for example, a change in your billing address or credit card expiration date) that may occur. You agree to pay Starks Associate the amount that is specified by the Starks Associate Service in accordance with the terms therein and this Agreement.
Starks Associate reserves the right to change our prices. If we change our prices, we will provide notice of the change on the Starks Associate web site or in email to you, at our option. Your continued use of the Starks Associate Service after the price change becomes effective constitutes your agreement to pay the changed amount. If Starks Associate agrees, in its sole discretion, to invoice you for your receipt of the Starks Associate Service (rather than requiring you to pay all fees by credit card), you must nevertheless provide Starks Associate with your credit card information (as reasonably requested by Starks Associate) and promptly update such information with any changes that may occur.
If you fail to pay any invoices within 30 days of the date of the invoice, Starks Associate will notify you by email of the overdue charge and, if the invoice remains unpaid, Starks Associate will charge your credit card the full amount owing under the invoice on the 31st day following the date of the invoice.
You hereby authorise us to charge any such overdue amounts to your credit card on file and acknowledge that Starks Associate may suspend its provision to you of the Starks Associate Service if any amounts remain unpaid.
You may be required to pay all subsequent fees by credit card if you fail to pay an invoice within 35 days of the invoice date. Starks Associate will only remove a credit card on file at your request if your account balance is N0 and there are no Starks Associate Services pending for you.
