Keep in mind spyware tracking cookies in this context are just cookies (3rd party generally) that are allow the possibility of tracking your activity over multiple sites generally for the purposes of presenting advertising although they could be building various types of profiles about you (or at least your session/s).
The fact they aren't visiting the sites directly doesn't necessarily mean anything. When you load a page it may have images or scripts with references to other sites on the web. For example, many sites display ads that that are generally loaded from another site and that these tend to pass cookies (in this context referred to as 3rd party cookies). What it presents is an opportunity to piece together a browsing history if that was desired or collect other information across a series of sites.
Not sure how webroot behave. It might simply be blocking 3rd party cookies or it might be blocking some from the more dubious sources. Point is this doesn't necessarily mean our infected.
