It's fantastic.
A lot of sites throw up a modal that just disappears when you say no. And I've verified that in most instances this completely kills all telemetry.
I was involved working at a SaaS that provided first party personalisation at the time GDPR was introduced and heard a lot of stories about clients just dropping pointless and long term data.
I have family in the school system that called panicking that this was a disaster... then a few months later admitted it meant that they actual handle their data well and no longer accidently leak personal info (financial, medical, behaviour, attainment) to other families, kids, teachers, or third party companies. Oh, and their emergency fire list is now kept up to date.
I've used the powers of the GDPR to eliminate some low level harrassment of my grandfather.
Google, Facebook, and the Yahoo auth group are still diddling with data they shouldn't, but on the whole it is a much much better world.
