How to disable ads notifications in Creative Cloud App?

Please stop showing me this spam.

I already turned off all notifications, and the Adobe spam still keeps coming. Please stop.

Adobe has a privacy policy explicitly forbidding such behavior:

Adobe routinely ignores complaints from users, so the next step is to report Adobe spam as a violation of the CAN-SPAM act:

https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/business-center/guidance/can-spam-act-compliance-guide-business

The CAN-SPAM Act, a law that sets the rules for commercial email, establishes requirements for commercial messages, gives recipients the right to have you stop emailing them, and spells out tough penalties for violations.

Despite its name, the CAN-SPAM Act doesn’t apply just to bulk email. It covers all commercial messages, which the law defines as “any electronic mail message the primary purpose of which is the commercial advertisement or promotion of a commercial product or service,” including email that promotes content on commercial websites. The law makes no exception for business-to-business email. That means all email – for example, a message to former customers announcing a new product line – must comply with the law.

Each separate email in violation of the CAN-SPAM Act is subject to penalties of up to $42,530, so non-compliance can be costly.

Agree.
I don't need to see a red dot notification that when I click it tells me about some Adobe Live event.

Please offer a setting to disable such distractions.

I'd like to add my vote to please remove the red notification dot for Adobe ads when notifications are turned off in preferences. Does anyone know if there's a better place to request this that will get more attention from Adobe? I can't imagine anyone wants it.

EU GDPR to the rescue?

May be late to this party @gluecksmensch, but not sure if this could fall under, for us Europeans within the EU, new data protection legislation. I've not received any explicit requests to opt in from Adobe.  This may be a breach of European Law as consent has to be EXPLICITLY given. Same with cookies!

So Adobe, where's my explicit consent and my lawful right to opt out of this marketing off option?

Hi, I'd like to add my voice to those asking for a way to disable these notifications properly. I click on the icon with the red dot thinking there's something important like an app update - but it's an ad for Behance or some competition. I simply am not interested in these.

In the meantime I will take the advice of others above and disable the CC app from opening at launch until this issue is fixed.

Simply Set it to NOT Open at Login. With that the CC DTA will not open and will not show any notifications. If you need to open it to check app update you can still do that. Then EXIT out of it from the POP UP menu at the 3 DOTS.

I don't mind getting notifications of software updates. But the daily spam of trying to make me subscribe to adobe stock photos is not ok. Though it has been more quiet lately, so I'm ok about it now - but there was a period I got multiple notifications of images I can buy, every day! ...that's not ok!!

Adobe can't be serious about this... these notifications are annoying. If I disable all notifications in an application I expect it to respect my wishes and stop pestering and harassing me with ads. gluecksmensch, did you find a solution for this annoyance or did you give up?
