The best ones are the ones that only use functional cookies until you do something active (like check "remember me" on a login page), thus negating any need for popups etc at all.

This is the correct answer. Non essential cookies should just be turned off by default and should only be enabled via normal navigation through a website. Your ‘remember me’ example is a good one. Thus, no banners are required, ever. This is the exact approach Github went with.
