Well for the time being FT does not comply anyway, see Recital 43:

Recital 43
EU GDPR

(43) In order to ensure that consent is freely given, consent should not provide a valid legal ground for the processing of personal data in a specific case where there is a clear imbalance between the data subject and the controller, in particular where the controller is a public authority and it is therefore unlikely that consent was freely given in all the circumstances of that specific situation.

Consent is presumed not to be freely given if it does not allow separate consent to be given to different personal data processing operations despite it being appropriate in the individual case, or if the performance of a contract, including the provision of a service, is dependent on the consent despite such consent not being necessary for such performance.
=> Dossier: Consent

The black box that can not go away until “I agree” is ticked is illegal. There should be an option to disagree and continue using the service.
