If a company continues to email you after you've unsubscribed, it may be a violation of email marketing laws like the CAN-SPAM Act. Check your spam or junk folder settings to ensure the emails are being filtered correctly. Report the emails as spam if the company doesn't comply, and consider contacting the company's support to reiterate your request. As a last resort, you can block the sender directly through your email provider.
