Cookies?
I noticed cookies and cache from websites i hadn't visited, cleared website data and even blocked cookies. Then after visiting only one site I had data for 6. Should I be concerned? I am on a Macbook Air with most recent updates.

There is no need to be concerned.
One site you visit may add cookies and caches from sites associated with it.
Just visiting one site can add 50+ caches and cookies.
Empty caches regularly.
Empty Caches
Safari > Preference > Advanced
Checkmark the box beside "Show Develop menu in menu bar".
Develop menu will appear in the Safari menu bar.
Click Develop and select "Empty Caches" from the dropdown.

What's weird is even when blocking and clearing website data and cookies I still receive them.
At present there is no way to stop this repopulation of cookies.
These cookies can repopulate from Bookmarks and sites added to history.
