Can this verdict be extended to cover Google analytics and all other 3rd party tracking?

  Sure, but that's already covered - you need to have a data processing contract with Google to use GA while being GDPR compliant. You'll have to do the same with Facebook for their buttons now, FB will provide an agreement and you sign it pro forma and that's it, I guess.

    you need to have a data processing contract with Google to use GA while being GDPR compliant That is true...unless you are not based in the EU and don't "envisage" (a term used in the GDPR) serving EU customers. Then you don't have to deal with any of this nonsense and are free to add whatever like buttons/analytics solutions you would like. A US site that doesn't offer translations in European languages, doesn't accept EU currencies, and doesn't use an EU domain extension, is not subject to GDPR - even if EU users can access it. "Whereas the mere accessibility of the controller’s, processor’s or an intermediary’s website in the Union, of an email address or of other contact details, or the use of a language generally used in the third country where the controller is established, is insufficient to ascertain such intention, factors such as the use of a language or a currency generally used in one or more Member States with the possibility of ordering goods and services in that other language, or the mentioning of customers or users who are in the Union, may make it apparent that the controller envisages offering goods or services to data subjects in the Union."
