Per GDPR it is not, you can't be banned from something if you does not give you consent. But nobody cares, if you have smart lawyers they can argue that those consents are essential for a given page to work and everything is compliant... The same with being opted out from consents by default. Nobody cares too - to opt out you typically need to click through maze of screens searching for small print links that let you say no. That's also against GDPR, BTW.
For now GDPR seems like one more toothless EU regulation. Maybe they manage to catch some big US company and make them pay a few millions just to make a big show and justify the existence of GDPR. Maybe they will catch some poor guy maintaining forum for some hobby group and does not provide "right to be forgotten" functionality (that's why effectively all independent forums are going away in favor of Facebook - good job, EU). But I doubt GDPR will manage to give people more privacy.
I hope that people themselves will figure out what's going on and start fighting back (by using browser plugins, stubbornly reporting misbehaving sites, trying to engage authorities to enforce GDPR, etc.). If yes, maybe GDPR will turn out to be something valuable, for now, it is not.
