I see. That's a bit ironic. Cookies use useful because you don't need to use URL query parameters all the time. So what they are doing is taking the session token that would be sent in the Disqus domain cookie and storing it as an embedder's cookie, then using Javascript to put the cookie data in URL's / requests. In fact, "cookie" is probably not even a good method to do this since it will get send in embedder's requests. You could just use localstorage for it. I've always found the negative effects of 3P cookies, the creepiness of being logged in on every site and ads following you around, to be symptoms of other problems (using the same browser profile for everything you do, a culture of not paying for websites so they have to rely on ads for monetization), so I'm not sure if this is a great solution to the actual problems. But I guess it does make the internet better for the average person.
