IIRC, this is allowed under GDPR. At least in my country it doesn't fall under the broad GDPR and a court ordered the company that did it first here to preliminary stop doing it while it's under investigation. But they're doing it again, which leads me to believe the court didn't find any legal basis to ban it.

Just a side note, they are obligated to follow GDPR when dealing with EU customers. Even the US has to (or shut down the access for EU users as many US news sites did).
