If you see cookies from websites that you have not personally accessed directly, there could be two different reasons for it.

Reason 1:

As you suspected, somebody else could have accessed the site.

Reason 2:

The site might not have been directly accessed, but it could have appeared as a pop-up or redirection, or it could have shown up on another website as an advertisement or just a random frame (iframe) linked to another website.

iframe: A utility of HTML coding that allows one website to display another webpage within itself

HTML: "Hyper Text Markup Language", the most standard form of website coding/creation
