If you have a dialog where the only option is to consent then either that is not real consent according to the GDPR or the consent was not really needed.
In the first, you may just end up with a database for full of data that you may have to throw out when somebody complains. In the second case, why bother your users?
If there is a real request to consent, then it is easy enough to decline. But so far, real requests for consent are quite rare. Most dialogs are basically: we are going to feed you cookies and violate your privacy; do you want to agree now or later?
