They don't "rise" and "set" at the latitudes where they are circumpolar.

Why are constellations characterized as circumpolar?
(circumpolar - our view of the constellation on Earth) Constellations are circumpolar because they are only how we view them on Earth. The constellations would be different on another planet or at another viewing point. They are circumpolar since they are at different distances in relation to each other and to the Earth.
Which star do not appear to move from east to west?
During roughly half of the time, 'circumpolar' stars don't appear to move from east to west. Which ones those are depends on your latitude. All other stars all the time, and circumpolar stars for the other half of the time, do appear to move from east to west.
Can circumpolar stars be included in the zodiac?

What is the difference between seasonal and circumpolar constellations?
Circumpolar stars/constellations always stay above our horizon, if they go below our horizon than they are no longer circumpolar.
Where are circumpolar constellations located?
For example, if you live at a latitude of 50° north, the circumpolar stars will be all stars that are up to 50° around the celestial north pole. As another example, if you live at a latitude 30° south of the equator, the circumpolar stars will be all those that are in a circle up to 30° around the celestial south pole.
Where would you see the most circumpolar stars?
At the North Pole, and at the South Pole.
