So how do you implement a "one click unsubscribe" link in an email? They're on GET requests. You could use JavaScript on the resulting page to then trigger the unsubscribe but bots are now running JavaScript as well.

You show a webpage with an "Unsubscribe" button in it. The button triggers a POST request.

There's also RFC 8058: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8058
