[ ] parent_url - Stores the parent_url on a particular endpoint
[ ] e - Stores if the user has an email or not
[ ] referrer - Stores the referrer
[ ] uc - Stores the timestamp when a user was created
[ ] pc - Stores the permanent cookie flag
[ ] uid2 - Stores the user ID

Its not clear if these cookies are redundant and can be easily removed. After checking, update the cookie policy template and create tickets if there is any follow up work.

You'll want to try a full e2e test suite in various forms of embedding (embed and also integration, which is diff) to ensure that this doesn't break functionality.

Perhaps worth writing e2e tests for embed/integration actions (vote/submit/sign-in) before messing with cookies. There might be subtle failures, and would be great to map expected behavior to tests before stripping out too many code paths 😊 )
