we are a bit of a complicated company... Our CRM and Marketo are not integrated yet. Sales team has been adding leads to the CRM they have been talking to, but since the company is German, sending a newsletter or any type of marketing email is not legal since we never received the consent from them. This comes together with the GDPR, and Germany is going beyond the GDPR. So far, the way it has been done is Sales send emails one by one from outlook - which is a looot of manual work. Sending emails from outlook are not tracked, we can't see neither open rates, nor clicks. If we go with Marketo (we will import a list of leads and use tokens for the sender so it looks as it comes from the sales guys) and send this one time email, the open rates and the clicks will be tracked, and we need to make the leads aware that this is the case. Germany is very strict when it comes to this, but the company I work at is even more strict and I don't want to get in trouble. Maybe legal team doesn't really understand the point, but I can't argue with them. I hope this explains the reasoning why I would like to disable the tracking.
