Techcrunch (and tumblr and yahoo and others) is part of something called Oath, you're probably only going to see the consent overlay/redirect if you have an IP that shows as being within the EU.
You will have the option to accept or configure what "partners" you want to track you when you're on Oath sites. There is a list of hundreds of these partners with links to each of their privacy policies and a switch to turn them on or off.
The problem is partly that they are defaulting to tracking you and sharing information with partners, under GDPR it is supposed to be the default to not tracking and share data. It is also supposed to be equally easy to choose tracking vs not-tracking, with the Oath dialogue the option to turn it all off is not as easy or prominent as the option to accept tracking.
