The only solution I've found to work, beyond the usual spam filtering, is to setup email on your own domain, and give every company a unique address. The moment you want to stop receiving email from them, you simply block their address. This deals both with the original company, and with anyone they've sold your contact information to.
In the 33 days since I wrote this article, no_reply@24hourfitness.com sent me zero.
I create a unique iCloud Hide My Email anytime I need to give out an email. The issue here was I signed up for my 24 Hour Fitness membership in person at the gym where the cell service was bad and I couldn't get the WiFI to work, so I begrudgingly gave the guy my real email.
While I could have easily blocked their domain, I took it as a challenge to get the emails to stop.

That’s quite a stretch for a company sending marketing email with a broken unsub mechanism.
One man's bug is another man's feature.
I mean, OneTrust's entire raison d'etre is to violate consent regulations with flimsy deniability.
