Safari allowing large numbers of cookies

Safari seems to be allowing a relatively large number of third party cookies, despite the fact that I have it set to not allow them.

I just upgraded to mountain lion a few weeks ago and have been using chrome, but when I realized I couldn't use some programs due to chrome being 32 bit, i switched to the new safari and have been pleasantly surprised, except for the fact that if i visit a small number of sites, 80 different websites have stored cookies. If i select block all, half of the websites don't work, and I still get about 12-15 cookies.

I looked through and saw that some others were having this problem as well. is there anyway to fix this? Can we contact apple directly? (I can't seem to find a way to contact them about safari. if anyone has suggestions I'm all ears.
