STARIMPEX HUNGARY Ltd – Corporate Cookie Policy
Please read this Cookie Policy (“Cookie Policy”) carefully before you start using the https://starimpex.biz website (“Our Site”) operated by STARIMPEX HUNGARY Ltd. (“we”, “us”, “our”), as it sets out the basis on which we use Cookies. This Cookie Policy supplements the our Privacy Policy that applies to your use of our Site. By using our site, you acknowledge that you accept this Cookie Policy, as well as Privacy Policy and that you agree to be bound by such terms and conditions. If you do not agree to our terms and conditions, you must not use our site. By continuing to browse our site, you agree to our use of cookies.
Understanding how and why we use cookies
We use cookies to provide you with the best possible online shopping experience. This Cookie Policy aims to answer the following questions:
We have implemented a Cookie Policy as part of our initiative to comply with legislation, but also, to ensure that we are open and clear with you about what happens when you visit our Site.
What are cookies?
A cookie is a small text file consisting of letters and numbers that is sent to and placed on your device (e.g. a computer, smartphone, tablet, or any other internet-enabled device), by a website that you have visited, if you agree. It enables a website to ‘remember’ who you are. When you visit a site for the first time, a cookie is saved onto your device. The next time you visit that website, your device checks to see if a cookie has previously been downloaded from that website. If it finds a match, the information contained in that cookie is then sent back to the website. The website is then aware that you have visited it before. Cookies make the interaction between you and the website, faster, easier and more efficient. Most websites you visit will use cookies to improve your experience of using the site, by enabling that website to ‘remember’ you, either for the duration of your visit (using a ‘session cookie’) or for repeat visits (using a ‘persistent cookie’). If a website does not use cookies, it will think you are a new visitor every time you move to a new page on the site. For example, without cookies enabled, when you enter your login details and move to another page, the website will not recognise you, so will not be able to keep you logged in. You’ll therefore have to log in again, every time you visit a new page on the site. Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting (‘first party cookies’) or they may be set by other websites who run content on the page you are viewing (‘third party cookies’). In some cases, the information found in the cookie will be used by the website to tailor the content it displays to you. Ever wondered how websites offer customized product recommendations? Amongst other things, they use cookies to determine what products you have previously purchased and look at product pages you have previously visited, to offer you a more personalized online shopping experience.
What information is stored by a cookie?
A cookie will usually contain:
- The name of the website from which the cookie has come from
- The ‘lifetime’ of the cookie (i.e. how long it will remain on your device for)
- A value, which is usually a randomly generated, unique number
- When you visit our site, any cookies placed by ourselves, allow us to identify whether or not you have purchased from us before. These cookies do not contain personal information about you.
