Really? I've been using a unique email (i.e. homedepot@my.domain) at checkout for the last 2 years and haven't received any emails at that inbox except for my receipts.

TBF they may have stopped - I do the same thing with unique emails, and just checked my email history - I actually wrote to Home Depot's privacy line in January 2021 to complain about that practice, and AFAIK haven't noticed any of their marketing emails since. (Though I had manually unsubscribed as well.)
