Comment (by nilovelez):

 Explicit consent now is not required if data is used under the base of
 legitimate interest:

   As a company/organisation, you often need to process personal data in
 order to carry out tasks related to your business activities. The
 processing of personal data in that context may not necessarily be
 justified by a legal obligation or carried out to execute the terms of a
 contract with an individual. In such cases,  processing of personal data
 can be justified on grounds of legitimate interest.
   -
   Your company/organisation must inform individuals about the processing
 when  collecting their personal data.
   -
   Your company/organisation  must also check that by pursuing its
 legitimate interests  the rights and freedoms of those individuals are not
 seriously impacted, otherwise your company/organisation cannot rely on
 grounds of legitimate interest as a justification for processing the data
 and another legal ground must be found.
