I am so looking forward to the 25th

when those emails asking you to resubscribe stop arriving, some are wheedling, some are grovelling and the worst try to make it look as if you have a legal obligation to subscribe to their advertising. If I want to subscribe to your carp no doubt in time I will do so.:mad::mad::mad:

    Some are offering entrance to a prize draw to get you to subscribe. I can't wait for my inbox to be de cluttered. Has anyone read & agreed to the Instagram & facebook pop-ups about the new rules? I keep clicking later, but it say's I will be blocked from using them on the 25th if I don't agree. I haven't got the patience to read it all!

    The real pain are the ones that keep emailing you because you haven't clicked to resubscribe.

    I had one from AoL today. They asked me to consent to their Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. The trouble is it is not obvious how you do it. I have been using AoL for several just for the email account. I am worried that if I don't find where you click to consent I may lose all my emails after May 25th.

    Does anyone else here use AoL for their emails and is having the same problem?

    I got one today from a certain company that I won't name that was very frank and bordering on rude that was almost calling compers out! x

    I got two this morning relating to the Maldives. I have absolutely no idea why they have my details as I have never received any newsletters previously and the Maldives are not somewhere I would register my interest!

    In one way these emails have been good as I have had the chance to unsubscribe from loads I didn't even know I was subscribed to in the first place! Hopefully after the 25th, we won't get so many emails. I have only re-subscribed to companies I have interest in or run regular comps.
    :TA big thanks to all who post and sprinkling lucky dust to all who enter :smileyhea
