Most of these extraneous ads are from "3rd parties" (servers located remotely and not from the site you are visiting).
Macs by default block 3rd party cookies, whereas Windows (Internet Explorer) does not block them.
(See this simple sketch that explains the nature of 'cookies' and how the browser deals with them: http://www.grc.com/cookies/howitworks.htm
