Because absolutely every linked part (like pictures) can try to set cookies - the commercial banners will set some all of the times. This is a very dangerous thing, because they will give you an ID code and track you across all visited pages, now and in every future session. Even worse - if they buy an online shop (and they do this quite frequently) they get the customer database, and if they sync the data (through the logged IP addresses) they will get your full personal details. For that reason - try to use a browser that trashes cookies frequently, or do it manually.
