PLEASE HELP!! Odd data appearing in website data

As many of you probably know, you can check your website data and what sites have used sertain amounts of bytes by checking in your advanced website data settings. Well recently I decided to check this data, and there are spots for websites I have NEVER visited. They do not seem to have any bytes of data given to them, but they appear in the list anyways. These websites do not even sound familiar to me, a few include

Edgekey.net

Badgeville.com

If anyone could tell me why these sites show up that would be great, and what I can do if it is an issue. sometimes when I clear my data they go away, other times I need to individually select and delete them for them to vanish. I am using an IPhone 5s that is updated to the latest IOS. I have included an image that shows the data page after only visiting apple support.

Did you happen to notice that the two websites you mention show that they are using zero bytes of data each?

Websites have advertising links embedded. You may well see sites you have not visited. So if it bothers you, click "Remove all website data" at the bottom. Then you will clear all zero bytes you have from both the websites you mentioned, as well as the website names.
