This would be a question more so for the advertisers on WordPress aka Google adsense. Advertisers deploy various trackers within their javascript and those trackers can differ. It wont hurt your blog at all and shouldn’t affect load times, privacy or any other concern.

WordPress Stats
These are automatically used on all WordPress.com blogs, all the time.

Doubleclik
If you are not logged in to WordPress.com (and the option is set in the blog’s Appearance > Extras panel), then Snap loader is used for the link previews you see when your mouse is hovered over a link.

The last (from DoubleClick) is a result of the Google Ads that are displayed on WordPress.com blogs to logged-out readers. You can read more about our advertising policy at http://support.wordpress.com/advertising/.
