It isn't, but I'm guessing their argument is that the website owner should get consent before loading their code. Of course in practice basically no one does that and they seem to be banking on that fact.

Disqus is not necessarily off the hook here. GDPR identifies several roles with different requirements (Data Processor, Data Controller)
