Yahoo and the online store have an agreement to set up a cookie that recognizes you have an interest in that company. Therefore, for the next week or so, you will get ads from that company when you use Yahoo.

I don't think you will be able to stop that. Yahoo gets paid by the store for this arrangement, and that is why Yahoo is free.
