Is if they have other domains with which they can track the cookies. That's how advertising agencies do it. Their ads are used on many domains, but are all referenced to a single domain. You visit two sites that have the same ad company's ads, their ads recognize are able to retrieve the cookie that they've originally sent. (Or such is my understanding anyway. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.) So unless FR has a bunch of other sites where they can have their cookies, I'm skeptical of that assertion.
Any cookies from FR are likely to be related to saving login info. (DU uses them for that as well.)
