What's with Google and the cookies?




I've changed the settings on Firefox so that sites that want to set cookies get flagged up with a dialog, then I can choose which sites get to set cookies on my machine.

Since I've done this I've noticed that Google searches that pop up a commercial website at the top of the results page seem to allow the top search to set a cookie without even visiting that site. (see image)

Can someone out there please tell me what Google is doing?
