Actually, they each have an extra underscore on front, I think.
__utma etc.
These are from some non-PHP session/cookie management setup, I believe.
Google analytics will cause that, as you are hitting Google's tracking.
Likewise many other popular "plug-in" HTML/JavaScript stuff like
banner advertisements, inktome, akami, etc.
I'm not quite sure which goofy system needs FOUR friggin' cookies with
a, b, c, and z after __utm, but it's sure annoying as hell to those of
use who don't accept cookies willy-nilly...
I pretty much stop visiting any site that needs to set more than 1
cookie, as I assume its developers haven't got a clue what they are
doing, and therefore I don't want to give them any personal
information, as I don't trust them.
I let the __utma crowd slide, as I know it's some big-time
everybody-use-it mess, but I'm still less likely to give any
substantive input to such a site.
Call me paranoid.
PS Still haven't figured out why you want to report me to PayPal as a
fraud when I don't sell anything through PayPal... :-v
