Bloctel

France's former national do-not-call register; the Bloctel opposition system ended on 11 August 2026 under a new prior-consent framework for covered commercial telephone prospecting.

Full definition

Bloctel was France's national telemarketing opt-out register. The official service states that the opposition system ended on 11 August 2026 under the law of 30 June 2025, after which covered commercial telephone prospecting generally requires prior explicit, clear, specific, and revocable consent, subject to the new rules and exceptions. A GDPR objection to direct marketing remains a separate right whose conditions and response rules should be checked under the applicable regime.
