Changes in the rules for advertising newsletters in France: the consent to the distribution by e-mail must be received annually

At the end of March 2017 in France, amendments were made to Article D98-5 of the Postal and Electronic Communications Code .
Now, to use email for marketing purposes, you need to obtain the consent of the owner of the postal address at least once a year. This consent should be obtained separately from the consent associated with the user agreement or service policies that collect information about postal addresses.
