How to unsubscribe from Gousto emails
The quickest Gousto unsubscribe is in your account: log in to My Gousto, open your Account Details page, and scroll to the Communication Preferences section, where you can switch off marketing emails entirely or trim it down to just the channels you want. Gousto lets you opt in to discounts, competitions, and offers individually, which also means a paused or cancelled box quietly leaves those permissions on - and the offer emails rolling in.

Method 1: Communication Preferences in My Gousto
- Log in at gousto.co.uk or in the Gousto app.
- Open your Account Details page.
- Scroll to Communication Preferences.
- Untick or switch off email marketing - or every marketing channel, including SMS and post, if you want a clean break.
The section lists each channel separately, so you can keep the occasional email while stopping texts, or drop everything at once.
Gousto's own privacy policy is explicit that you can change marketing permissions here and opt out of all marketing emails at any time, so this page is the definitive switch rather than a partial one.
Method 2: the opt-out link at the bottom of the email
Each Gousto offer email carries an unsubscribe link in its footer, no login required. Gmail and Apple Mail additionally surface a native one-click Unsubscribe button at the top of the message. Reach for this when you cannot remember your password, but prefer the account page when you can - it shows every channel at once instead of just the list that sent one email.
When the opt-out does not hold
A pause is not an unsubscribe. Gousto's winback offers exist precisely for people who stopped ordering, and reactivating your subscription - even briefly, to grab a discount - can put marketing permissions back the way they were. Queued campaigns may also arrive for a few days after you opt out. Rather than assuming silence means success, ClearMyInbox circles back roughly thirty days on and confirms whether the Gousto opt-out actually held, flagging the sender for another round if offers are still landing.
Fallback: filter or block Gousto mail
Persistent offers can be dealt with at the mailbox level. Gmail users can create a filter on the Gousto marketing sender and route it to Delete or Skip Inbox; Outlook users can Sweep the address or add it under Blocked senders in Junk email settings. Keep the rule tight to the promotional address if you still take boxes, so cut-off reminders and delivery emails survive.
What still arrives while you have boxes coming
Delivery confirmations, recipe-choice cut-off reminders for an upcoming box, payment receipts, and account notices are service emails. They continue for as long as your subscription is active and stop naturally once no boxes are scheduled - marketing toggles have no effect on them.
Sorting the rest of the food senders
If your inbox collects recipe-box offers, the HelloFresh unsubscribe guide handles Gousto's biggest rival, and takeaway fans drowning in order-again nudges can follow the Just Eat opt-out steps. For the category-wide cleanup, our guide to stopping food delivery emails works through all of them together.
Frequently asked questions
Where do I change Gousto marketing preferences?▾
Log in to My Gousto on the website or app, open your Account Details page, and find the Communication Preferences section. Gousto's privacy policy confirms you can change marketing permissions there and opt out of all marketing emails at any time.
Will pausing my Gousto subscription stop the emails?▾
No. Pausing or cancelling the box only stops deliveries and billing. Your marketing permissions are a separate setting, and paused customers are prime targets for come-back discount offers. Update Communication Preferences as well.
Can I opt out of Gousto texts and post too?▾
Yes. The Communication Preferences section covers each marketing channel Gousto uses, including email, SMS, and post, so you can switch off some or all of them independently.
Why did I get a Gousto email after opting out?▾
Opt-outs can take a few days to reach every campaign already queued, and choosing recipes or reactivating your subscription can refresh permissions. If offers continue beyond a week or two, use the unsubscribe link on the specific email and re-check your preferences page.
Which Gousto emails cannot be switched off?▾
Service messages tied to an active subscription - delivery confirmations, recipe cut-off reminders for a box you are receiving, payment receipts, and account notices - continue while you have boxes coming, regardless of marketing settings.
