The argument is that they need to do this particular tracking in order to make their website work.
I believe this is against the GDPR, but need to make a complaint against them.
Arguments why it is against the GDPR, if you can display the text to a googlebot and you will do no change to the structure of the document that is the main purpose of coming to the site then it is not GDPR compliant to deny someone access to the resource based on the argument that they need to do tracking to make the particular resource work.
In other words they are quite clearly lying and should be fined.
There should be some general make GDPR complaint tool where people can go, say where they are from, write what site complaining about, and it shows you similar complaints for you to add yourself to, or to send a new complaint. Then it packs them off to the relevant organizations to handle the complaint. Probably someone has already made this tool but I don't know about it.
