I think the cookie bit is just an authorization credential.
If they use asymmetric encryption for data transfer, then how does that work as part of a convergent encryption scheme? Wouldn't all of the file hashes be different at that point?

I would assume the asymmetric crypto is just for the transfer. In other words you encrypt the data and then send it wrapped in another layer of public/private crypto. Not entirely sure though.
