Logging without consent would be legal due to legitimate interest, but I would also have to comply with "Chapter 3 Rights of the data subject" https://gdpr-info.eu/chapter-3/ https://gdpr-info.eu/chapter-3/ In particular, I do not like article 13 paragraph 1 section (a) because I prefer to stay anonymous. I still receive daily spam from the time I published my contact details on a website 10 years ago. It has also become illegal to embed contact details in an image or hide it behind a captcha due to accessibility. I would risk a 5000 € fine if I did it anyway.
