The law was amended in 2008 to prohibit, in principle, the sending of advertising e-mails without the user's consent . When the law came into force in 2002, the opt-out method was mainstream, but opt-in regulations were introduced to strengthen restrictions on spam e-mails.

Therefore, as of 2024, obtaining user consent through the spain mobile database opt-in method has become the standard, and it is important to understand this when it comes to email marketing.
