GDPR noise highlights (lowlights?):

UK Climbing sent me no less than five invitations to continue receiving their newsletter, or seven if you count the banner at the top of the most recent copy of it, which they sent me twice.
Runners up in the “repetition” category are ANSI, who twice invited me to accept their privacy policy, I think to continue to receive communications from them, though I can’t remember the last time they sent me anything.
GitLab, who want me to agree to their new terms before I can use their site. What's odd about this is that AFAIK I don't use and moreover they've sent to to an obsolete version of a unique address shared only with GitHub. I assume there's some rational explanation for this...
Two messages in Finnish, one from a table booking service and one from a restaurant which I don’t remember but looks like the kind of place we’d have eaten at. I have no idea what they say.
A recruitment company who have “worked with me in the past”. Not intrinsically implausible (the earliest mail I can find from them does claim to have first seen my CV at a point when I was looking for work) but I have no memory of having interacted with them in the past, much less of them finding me any work.
A TSB GDPR (well, “privacy policy”) phish attempt, which is packing a lot of topical stuff into a single attack.
