The yandex one uses client/browser-side code to exfiltrate; it’s within the realm of possibility to abuse this, given a user visits a site under your control.

On the FB side, I can see a malicious user potentially poisoning a target site visitors’s ad profile or even social media algorithm with crafted cookies. Fill their feed with diaper ads or something.
