    Frequently asked questions

    Do I need a preference center if I already have an unsubscribe link in my emails?+

    Yes, absolutely. The unsubscribe link is mandatory, but it's not enough. The preference center allows your contacts to choose what they want to receive, rather than unsubscribing entirely. It's a great way to reduce churn, provide better service, and, of course, strengthen your compliance.

    Can I combine multiple marketing purposes under one opt-in button?+

    No, the CNIL is very clear: each purpose must be subject to separate consent. For example, commercial prospecting by email, subscribing to a newsletter, or sending personalized content must be separated. In Marketo, this often involves managing multiple consent fields, but it's the key to strong compliance.

    How can I prove that my contacts have given their consent?+

    Marketo doesn't do this natively, but we have solutions for that! Thanks to smart programs, tracking fields, and a little cleverness, you can record the date, source, and context of consent. This evidence can be useful in the event of an audit or complaint. At Merlin/Leonard, we help you implement this properly.

    Can you be GDPR compliant without sacrificing marketing performance?+

    Of course, and that's the whole point. A good GDPR system builds trust and allows you to work with a more engaged base. You gain in lead quality, deliverability, and brand image. With the right Marketo tools, it's entirely possible to balance performance and compliance.

    What happens if I don't comply with GDPR?+

    Le dragon de la CNIL peut rugir très fort… Au-delà des sanctions (amendes, mises en demeure), vous risquez une perte de confiance de vos clients et partenaires. La non-conformité peut également altérer vos taux d’engagement et nuire à votre réputation. Mieux vaut prévenir que guérir : un dispositif bien conçu est un gage de sérénité à long terme.
