Does every cold email require opt-in?
Depends on Jurisdiction. GDPR requires consent or lawful basis. CAN-SPAM allows cold email with unsubscribe. CASL requires consent. The answer varies by where recipients are located.
Even where legally permitted, cold email without permission generates complaints and poor results. Legal does not mean effective or reputation safe.
Know applicable regulations. Follow stricter requirements when multiple jurisdictions apply. Consider permission benefits beyond legal compliance.
