In Firefox, I noticed that I have updated cookie data for a site I don't visit. How is this possible?

I installed NoScript and it showed that scripts on the page were pulling in java script code from different social networks. It would make sense if they embed share links but they also appear to be creating cookies.

Here is a screen shot from NoScript:

Since installing the update I've noticed many sites are linking to the social networks and advertising networks.

I've also turned off accept cookies from third parties in the browser settings menu. The cookies have not been updated since.
