I've signed up for plenty of these lists with per-site emails, and it's very rare for me to end up getting email from anyone but the list I signed up for. Might be different when shopping on international sites (though I doubt it's worse in the EU), but in the US, sites generally don't sell your email. More likely they'll leak it accidentally.

My email has been out there for 25+ years now. Filtering has been able to handle it for all but the first couple of years of that period.

So … ops normal?
