GDPR is not about cookies but about privacy in general. It’s an easy read, and yes, it applies to software and telemetry as much as it applies to websites and cookies, and it applies to anyone providing services and tools to Europeans.

"Personal data is information that relates to an identified or identifiable individual. If you cannot directly identify an individual from that information, then you need to consider whether the individual is still identifiable. You should take into account the information you are processing together with all the means reasonably likely to be used by either you or any other person to identify that individual."
