Interestingly enough, GDPR gets the most support from the center-right parties within the EU, in my experience because it's a law that protects individual's rights to their data. You'll find that it's not that popular am

Yes, except if you're found to be in violation of how you store or use the data they consented you to use, you're liable. Also they can at any point remove the consent and you need to deal with that.
