Here's your problem.

https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js
https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js

You need to block/redlist those two. Google analytics is the tracker, while adsbygoogle processes this data and loads ads based on the datamining. What they do is PRECISELY what Wonderland described. Google refers to it as "unintrusive ads", BTW (the analytics, too)
