All I get are dating sites and lawyer ads. I never visit any of those.

Look at the far right part of the add. That little triangle is the AdChoices symbol.
 It is part of Google. The adds shown there are companies that have paid Google
 for this service. Nothing to do with you or your computer.

The ad choices ads are generated by cookies on your computer and or your demographic area. Says so in their own words as seen below click on the tab in top right corner of the ads for more info.

What are AdChoices?

The AdChoices icon appears on sites that use Google's AdSense program to show ads. While Google often shows you ads based on the content of the page you are viewing, we also show some ads based on the types of websites you visit, view, or where you interact with an ad or other Google product supported by Google's advertising services. In doing this, Google doesn't know your name or any other personal information about you. Google simply recognizes the number stored in your browser on the DoubleClick cookie, and shows ads related to the interest and inferred demographic categories associated with that cookie. It's our goal to make these ads as relevant and useful as possible for you. Google doesn't create categories, or show ads, based on sensitive topics such as race, religion, sexual orientation, or health.

Like I said, I get a lot of sailing and ocean crusing sites/ads...
