You can contact the Mail Preference Service about junk mail but I don't know how effective they are. I'm registered for the Telephone Preference Service but calls still get through especially from overseas call centres. Good luck. My main bugbear at the moment is with magazine that are full of advertising leaflets. Gardeners World Mag is one of the worst!
Mail preference service is rubbish. I went down the line. I then had to fill in a form. They sent me letters to say did I really want to stop them. I replied Yes. It has had no effect whatsoever.
I keep getting the one on this site. I did the box tick thing days ago
Ticking the box is only the start of it, you have to tick ‘more options’ I think that’s what it says, if you then scroll down you’ll see all the third party options, and they are all set as on! you need to untick them or high light them as off.

Now unable to use my Android tablet for the forum as I can't get past the Immediate Media box. Every time I set all the options to inactive and every time I change page it comes back up with all the third party options active again, endless loop. I am fairly tech savvy having used computers since the papertape and punched card era and built my own many times over the years so I have tried every permutation of switch it off and on again (clearing caches, resetting ad blockers etc.) to no avail.
I had that problem too this is the first time it hasn't popped up in 24 hours. Don't scroll to quickly down towards the bottom of the posts that seems to trigger it!
Do you have an automatic cookie block/delete? It uses a cookie to remember not to store your cookies so every time you delete them it turns up again. And then it seems to pop up 4 times in a row before vanishing. (I just got on without it appearing - **said in a whisper in case it suddenly remembers**)
If you go onto the Immediate Media website and try to change your preferences there you do end up in a loop of being sent to a different page but never actually finding the preferences. A bit like phoning a water company "oh you want such and such department - I'll just put you through" ad infinitum.
I suspect it's intended to make you give up and go away
