If you show some pieces of information to the user when he allows the notifications he won't remember that when he unsubscribes.
However the point really is to remember to the user that he can turn off some notifications through the website and not necessarily all. This is exactly how it works for emails. When you click the "Unsubscribe" link many times you have the option to unsubscribe only partially. 2016-04-04 23:40 GMT+02:00 Jonathan Garbee <jonathan.gar...@gmail.com>: > I come across the "Are You Sure?" when unsubscribing from email lists a > lot.
