There’s no doubt that many marketers will still be suffering from a GDPR induced hangover, with the memory of thousands of ‘Privacy Policy’ and ‘please opt-in’ emails hitting the inbox the week of GDPR coming into force. Email marketers did bear the brunt, and they had to be prepared in

60. “The Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR)
sit alongside the Data Protection Act and the GDPR. They give
people specific privacy rights in relation to electronic
communications.
There are specific rules on:
• marketing calls, emails, texts and faxes;
• cookies (and similar technologies);
• keeping communications services secure; and
• customer privacy as regards traffic and location data,
itemised billing, line identification, and directory listings.”
