Personal data collected by this website will only be used for the purposes (or closely related purposes) for which it was collected.
We may use your personal information to:
COOKIES
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer by websites that you visit. They are widely used in order to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site.
Like most websites, Southend UNISON uses cookies to improve our users’ experience. We ask when you first access our site if you are happy for cookies to be used. If you choose not to use cookies, it may be difficult to use some parts of our website.
Our cookies policy explains which cookies we use and why, along with where you can find more information about cookies.
SOCIAL MEDIA BUTTONS
On many of the pages of the site you will see ‘social buttons’, such as share buttons for Twitter and Facebook.
When you click on any of these buttons, these sites will be registering that action and may use that information.
You should check the respective policies of each of these sites to see how exactly they use your information and to find out how to opt out, or delete, such information.
EXTERNAL WEB SERVICES
We use a number of external web services on the Southend UNISON site, mostly to display content within our web pages. For example, to display images we may use Flickr; to show videos we may use YouTube and to embedded maps we may use Google Maps. This is not an exhaustive or complete list of the services we use, or might use in the future, when embedding content, but these are the most common.
As with the social buttons, these sites may use information about usage of embedded content. If you are not logged in to these external services, then they will not know who you are but are likely to gather anonymous usage information e.g. number of views, plays, loads etc.
