How can I unsubscribe from the direct marketing register?

Leaving the direct marketing register requires your own activity. Gonsul uses a marketing system where, in order to prevent abuses, the person must remove themselves, either partially or completely, from Gonsul's marketing system. With the entry into force of the GDPR regulation, all direct marketing messages from Gonsul (e.g. e-mails) have the option to cancel the direct marketing either completely or in the applicable parts as desired by the person himself.

How do I get a link to my own information in my email?

1. You can unsubscribe from Gonsul's direct marketing register by opening a previous direct marketing message from Gonsul (for example, an email containing marketing). Move the mouse to the bottom of the message and click on the link where (depending on your language settings) it says "cancel here" or "unsubscribe here".

The link will take you to the selection page where you can complete

a) Partial removal (recommended), i.e. the person himself determines what he wants to receive from Gonsul's direct marketing.

b) Complete opt-out (English: OPT OUT) > when you deny yourself all communications related to marketing: Unsubscribe me from all mailing lists

2. If you cannot find the old marketing message sent by Gonsul, you can contact our customer service and we will help you.

At the end of the message, you can leave Gonsul's direct marketing register, either partially or completely, in accordance with the operating model and instructions of point one (1).

How can I add myself to the direct marketing register?

Ordering direct marketing communication requires your own activity. Gonsulin uses a marketing system where, in order to prevent abuse, the person must order the direct marketing they want. With the entry into force of the GDPR regulation, most of the direct marketing messages from Gonsul, ordering websites, etc., have the option to order direct marketing.
