IANAL, but.... you only need consent if it isn't required for your business to function. If you need to track to maintain your trademark, couldn't you argue any business with a trademark needs to track users?

I'm sure it wouldn't work in a real court, but it sounds funny in my head.

You still need a consent

    If it is based on legitimate interest, under gdpr you don't.

      You are required to inform the affected users, however.

      Legitimate interest of the user, not yours. Rule of thumb, if its not a legal requirement, you need consent.

        That’s not true. From the law as written:

        > legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party

        There are six lawful bases for processing, consent is only one of them.
