Because you don't have Ublock Orgin installed.

That's answers 'why do i see ads at all' but not 'why those ads'.

Regardless, you should be blocking ads. Ublock Origin for PC, Adguard DNS + DDG app w/app tracking protection enabled for mobile. Then you never have to worry about why you get certain ads ever again, cause you simply won't see them.

I probably should. I only meant to point out that all of their elaborate spying and analysis supposedly for advertisement targeting is not very effective, in my case.
