When you use Google to search, it tracks your activity with cookies. At least some of the ads here are hosted by Google so it customizes the ads based on your past searches. This is the standard practice on most websites. When you delete the cookies, those particular ads will usually go away until you do a search for that product again.
ATP isn't tracking your activity on Google at all, though.
You've been posting long enough that you should be able to disable the ads in your site preferences menu, if you like.
