For persistent logins, a simple “Remember me” checkbox is sufficient, see https://law.stackexchange.com/a/32157.

Analytics and marketing tracking cookies require separate consent, that’s correct. I would prefer websites to refrain from attempting such tracking completely.

Great link, thanks. Minor note: appears that you have to use "Remember me - uses cookies". You have to make it clear you are using cookies for these operations.
I don’t think it’s necessary to inform the user about the exact technical means. The law doesn’t care about cookies as a technical mechanism. “Remember me in this browser” may be more adequate to indicate the scope of what is stored.
