In most circumstances, I would expect things like logins to fall under the 'legitimate interests' basis rather than the 'consent' basis, and interestingly, if login is required to provide service it shouldn't fall under consent anyway.
I think the majority of the consent popups I've seen do not in fact comply with my reading of the GDPR. It's strange, but apparently people don't read the legislation or guidance before making these changes to their sites.
> The GDPR sets a high standard for consent. But you often won’t need consent. If consent is difficult, look for a different lawful basis.
