"We'd like to share the latest updates with you"

I visit a news website and I get a popup saying something like "We'd like to share the latest updates with you." I can click on Allow or No Thanks. I always click on No Thanks, but what would happen if I made a mistake and clicked Allow? Would I just be asked to provide an email address, or would notifications start getting pushed onto my browser unwanted?
Best answer: Note too that you can change your browser settings to block ALL notification requests, if you're tired of being asked. Change the setting once and you'll never see another request.
