Here is how you can avoid it without clicking that link
Get an alias email or secondary email. Better yet a few.
Set them up so any important mails like people you know irl are forwarded to your proper email adress.
Never share your proper personal adress, not even with family. (Seriously they will enter it on we transfer to send you files or sm else and your spamfree days are over.
The best way to fight the fingerprinting is for us to all use the same throwaway email address.
I use thepresident@whitehouse.gov for shit like this.
I use legal@[website.com]
I figure if they're going to send spam, the legal department should be aware.
privacy@[website] is probably an even better route, since I've seen it commonly used for the actual data privacy officer / department / etc.
