That's not going to fly in about a month under GPDR:
1. A standard cookie notice is nowhere near granular enough about different possible uses to qualify as informed consent.
2. I'm pretty sure Google Analytics is just a "processor" rather than a "controller" under GDPR, so much of the onus for following the regulations is still on the person using GA rather than on GA itself. Processors would not be responsible for handling deletion requests from individual; they would just need to make it possible for controllers to handle them. Obviously processors that take as much of the responsibility as possible will be much more attractive service providers for controllers, but the controllers can't just pass the buck to processors.
