The same way you would do it.
Actually, they might have just used:
$cookie_name = session_name();
if (isset($_COOKIE[$cookie_name])){
$session_id = $_COOKIE[$cookie_name];
}
elseif (isset($_REQUEST[$cookie_name])){
$session_id = $_REQUEST[$cookie_name];
}
else{
$session_id = uniquid();
}

No, that's not how it works.
JUST send the dang cookie on every page.
And check if it's there on every page.
And whatever first page the user gets to, with no cookie, be sure you
send them suitable content for having no cookie.
