ads.bridgetrack.com, and GOOGLE (PREF) cookie... ???

Whenever surfing eBay, I get certain cookie: ads.bridgetrack.com -- WHY?

Secondly, at the same time, I get GOOGLE cookie (PREF), but I am surfing eBay ONLY !?

Thirdly, today I went to apple SUPPORT site, and I got the same GOOGLE (PREF) cookie. WHY?

Thanks for ANY help...

MacBook: 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 1GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM, Mac OS X (10.4.11), Safari 4 Public BETA (4528.17)

PS.
I just noticed that the answering system does NOT recognize my Mac! I have:

MacBook: 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 1GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM Mac OS X (10.4.11) Safari 4 Public BETA (4528.17),

and the answer Mack system set in green typos "867 MHz Power PC G4, 2 MB L3 cache Mac OS X (10.4.1)" -- WIERD !!!

I get it.

When you type in the information in My Settings on the right side of this page, you have to scroll down and click: SAVE

You and me are posting ANSWERS via Apple Discussions (after I posted trouble-question) in Apple.com>Support, yes?
So, I call this FORUM: "QUESTIONS & ANSWERS" or "answering my question", and Apple Discussions I call: "answering system". Don't ask me why... maybe I am just frustrated with my computer doing crasy things, so I get lingually challenged after a while :):) 😟

I did all "by the book" (follow all steps...). By the way, have Macs since 1985 (that's 24 years, yes?)
Went ALL good stuff and troubles w/Mac and Mac's history... 🙂
But look below, it says "867 MHz Power PC G4, 2 MB L3 cache" AGAIN!

For example, I surf eBay, and I get GOOGLE PREF cookie; shortly after, I get "ads.bridgetrack.com" cookie! Isn't that crasy? When I asked eBay why I get "tracking cookie" when I surf their site, they insist it is NOT from them! Crasy... Here I am, ONLY at Apple.com and I've already noticed this cookie:
" .google.com PREF ", do you agree, these are CRASY THINGS?
PS. And again, look at my computer model below, it is NOT what I have. I have:
MacBook: 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 1GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM Mac OS X (10.4.11) Safari 4 Public BETA (4528.17), and it shows:
867 MHz Power PC G4, 2 MB L3 cache... C R A S Y, don't you think?
