The big question (which is disputed, even among DPAs) is whether offering this makes it OK to offer it via ads with tracking without a way to opt out for free.
Doing "tracking ads or no service" is illegal - the consent isn't "freely given" and thus invalid, so they'd be processing data without consent or other valid justification. Some argue that with such a model the consent is freely given...
Either way, the max fine will be 4% of revenue, which means nothing if doing it this way doubles revenue...
