Or did I not untick a pre-ticked (!) box? And was it an opt-in or opt-out pre-ticked box? [Silly question, really!]
Marketeers are paranoid about losing people to market to. It will be interesting to see whether there is a marked decline in consenting customers when the GDPR takes effect ... assuming any companies/marketeers bother to comply.

Whenever I do experience this, though, I remind myself that I *never* knowingly consent to marketing and then forget about it, and that I always opt out where necessary to avoid soft opt-in marketing.
