For example, if you are on Site A and use cross site resource from Site C. The site C will get a cookie C('A)
And in another day, you visited a Site B that also use resource from Site C. The site C get a cookie C('B).
And C('A) != C('B)
Although these cookie are both issued by Site C. They are associated to different first party domain and can't be connected directly.
It's just like you open a private browser session for every site you visit.
I think it is a extension usage from Firefox's container technology.
