What is that all about? I didn't set them. Is this something Safari sets up?

They are: __unam=blah; __qca=POblah; __switchTo5x=25

__qca is from Quantcast
__unam and __switchTo5x are from ShareThis

Presumably you have code for these services somewhere in whatever HTML documents you've been working on.

Most services don't reference their cookies by name when disclosing what data they collect, etc. so you'll have to search around a bit for any details.
