Not usually that much. One or two escape to the Inbox, buy not enough to be irritating. I find that the less bait click articles you open, the less spam you get.
Not too much, but I have the filters set moderately highly, and good protection software.
I've a bigger irritant, and that is a fairly recent, very underhand, development by my e-mail provider, BTinternet.
When you log on, it asks you if you wish to "Change Settings". This is a 3-setting cookie filter: "Targeting" [sic], "Functional" and "Strictly necessary." You select, guided by a brief description that appears alongside each, then "Save and Close".
"Targeting" is the default. As well as perhaps 10 supposedly useful things it lets the BT Mail site do, it tells you it "Sends information to other web-sites so that advertising is more relevant". Honest! I've just switched back to read it to quote verbatim. This allegedly valuable feature is not available on the other 2 settings; the ones I want on the service I am paying for.
Worse, it does NOT "save" when you click on "save & close". It leaves it on the default it wants.
I've no idea if the problem is in my PC's security settings, or with the site. If the latter, then either it is faulty or BT is lying.
Earlier this evening I used BT's "Contact us" to ask how to make MY choice stick. I'm not holding my breath. If I don't have a satisfactory reply I will write to their main business address as well as any supposed customer-service it might have.
