If you're providing it "voluntarily" it won't fall foul of GDPR.
I'm not in a GPDR jurisdiction, but if memory serves, is there not some clause preventing service providers for compelling me to "willingly" provide information to access the service, similar to a "duress" situation?
There is something like that but I'm not sure it really has the force we all wanted it to. I don't know if it's been tested in court yet, but the optimistic people thought it would ban any kind of "be tracked or else you have to pay", but I believe a lot of services are operating exactly this way.
