GDPR requires newsletters (not talking about spam) to include unsubscribe links (or similar) in the mails they send. Those are most of the times in the mail body and also sometimes in the mail headers.
- mft_ 3y agoBut in reality, don’t a proportion of these unsubscribe links do what the previous poster suggested: link you to a proprietary system that requires you to log in to ‘update your mail preferences’?
- kazinator 3y agoI recently had to solve a captcha in order to unsubscribe from something! The unsubscribe link included a cookie in the URL which identified what is being unsusbscribed. Only the e-mail recipient would reasonably follow that link. And yet captcha in your face.
