Article 4(11)

  1. ‘consent’ of the data subject means any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her;

Article 7(4)

  1. When assessing whether consent is freely given, utmost account shall be taken of whether, inter alia, the performance of a contract, including the provision of a service, is conditional on consent to the processing of personal data that is not necessary for the performance of that contract.

Not to be overly lawyer-like, but it seems that one is forced to consent to processing of personal data that is not necessarily necessary for the "performance of the contract". :rolleyes:

Must admit I didn't look too closely at the exact conditions though.

I think this whole GDPR initiative aims at that.

It aims at forcing people to consent? :-)

No, what I tried to say - although in retrospect perhaps not very well - is that the point of a GDPR compliant consent to processing of personal data is that it needs to be "freely given", meaning that you can not force anybody to consent - *unless* the specific processing is necessary for the performance of a contract between the parties. From the looks of it, tumblr seems to want to do more with the data that just delivering the service (the Gazette?), but I will admit I didn't look very closely before deciding I didn't want to consent.
