You're on their database (for whatever reason)...along with everyone else (including those who asked for the marketing stuff)...so they are applying a blanket approach and asking people to confirm that they want to continue to receive the stuff. But if you never asked for it in the first place, I don't see any reason why they or any other companies shouldn't continue to 'sign you up' and send you stuff.
There is an inconsistency in the GDPR approach as well that I find extra tedious. Some ask you to confirm, some say they will continue to send you stuff unless you opt out, some just say 'we've changed our privacy guidelines'. Thus making you waste time having to read the bloody emails to see what you need to do (or not).
And, as I said, it is pointless....you will still get bombarded for male enhancement tablets or invitations to meet lovely Russian ladies.
If opportunity doesn't knock, build a door.
