Disqus sets a login cookie. If you logged into Disqus using Facebook on any site you will be logged into Disqus even if it is embedded on another site.

  Yeah but how did you log into Disqus using Facebook? I guess the 2008 policy for 4th party widgets isn't in effect anymore? That's fine, but also... how does DISQUS get around Safari's 3rd party cookie problem? I guess they don't...

    Disqus makes a request vio OAuth to authenticate you via Facebook. It then stores the authentication token which will authenticate you to Facebook in the future until you revoke it. Also by putting the Disqus javascript widget on your page you will probably have cookies for: example.com disqus.com and example.disqus.com (if example was your disqus site name).

      But how is disqus able to store the fbs_<appid> cookie which is returned, under safari?
