Although time will tell. My gut tells me that users will click decline and without any negative consequences (a redirect) and the dialog simply closes. Users will get used to doing that for all other EU sites and these startups marketing efforts will suffer.
Remember cookie law? Everyone I know is conditioned to click and not even look at the privacy policy.
That means overall, less profits for marketing and then lost sales.
It's going to be very interesting to see how competitive EU startups become verses US startups where in the US, GDPR doesn't exist (for now).
That said as well. Where US startups have much greater profits for marketing to non-EU regions, and EU startups cannot compete again due to less revenue due to regulations. EU startups will shrink against their US counterparts.
Again, all of this is my own speculation and lets see how things are in 2 years time.
Very interesting times ahead.

- pedalpete 8y agoIsn't most of this stuff just managed with UX? Do people click "no" on cookie messages? or just "dismiss" which I assume means "whatever, just get this box out of the way"..
- phn 8y agoFrom our experience, that consent screen is wrong under the GDPR. It asks for permission for 3 things, and while the first 2 could arguably be necessary for the "service", the third one (updates and promotions) clearly isn't. And it seems they refuse to provide service if you don't agree with everything in bulk. This would be akin to an airline declining to sell you a plane ticket if you don't enroll in their promotional newsletter. Flat out illegal under the GDPR.
