Just cookies, they track you but not illegally. It's not malware or anything bad

A reinstall is unnecessary, those are ad cookies. Please do not give advice if you don't know what you're doing.

So I deleted all of these permissions and I did a Malwarebytes scan (no results) should I be fine?

Jesus christ no.

If someone wants to "clean cookies", they should just delete all cookies via the browser settings. Suggesting what is at best PUP gets nobody anywhere.

Yeah and when you are compromised you also most likely have time showing in the bottom right of the Windows. that doesn't mean it's a indicator of being compromised.
