Help ...Safari or Google Ad Tracking?

i googled parallels desktop earlier today read on it, i'd never heard of prior! decided "boot camp" way go, never bothered downloading trial, since then, when i've been browsing other sites parallel banner ad keeps popping up.

expect ads on websites, generate revenue , don't have issue them, don't being targeted specifically! makes me jumpy else might stalking me.

google or safari doing tracking, , how find out which?

instantly sort in windows, i'm new macs , haven't got scooby doo (clue) how security works, advice on how can prevent happening again (cookies, browser setting adjustments, etc.) appreciated.

thanks.
