isn't there a way to tell with cookies if you have been on other sites? somehow Google manages to do it well with advertising

Block all cookies and only allow the ones you need.

Only if you load assets from another site. With google analytics and google ads, since nearly every site loads google javascript, google can set a cookie while you are on that site or just see which site requested the js via the request's referer header. Voat doesn't load any reddit crap by default, so reddit can't tell via cookies what other sites a user has been to. The http referer header is the only way to know on reddit's side that a user from voat clicked on a link or loaded a reddit image inline on voat.
