Where you on Twitter?
It's related to Twitter and the Safari is from the Apple Safari Browser.

Hi. No, I was not. That's the irritating thing. Regularly I look in the Cookies and regularly I see Facebook, Twitter, and all kinds of places I haver never frequented and with which I have no account. Of course, Google always gets into Safari, even though my Search Engine is Yahoo!

But have you looked on Web Pages with
Like on FB or Twitter links?
You don't actually have to visit the Security Problems Web Sites to be given Cookies to them.
It could be something as simple as a Link to a Twit on the subject you are looking at. And no that wasn't a spelling mistake.

un-needed ad revenue
addthis.com is just another "social networking" button, which is totally unnecessary to use any website and in actuality just supports a fake revenue stream to yet another advertiser network.
You can block addthis.com and similar, such as the facebook like button, tweet this, etc - across all websites by using an Internet filter; DNS Redirector is one method, some routers support domain blocking, or a subscription product like WebSense, N2H2, M86
