Unfortunately, it's the way people create websites, these days.  They
don't code them themselves, they incorporate scripts from a dozen other
websites.  Things they have no idea about, and no control over.

Trying to research something to buy, say a desklamp (i.e. nothing
special, at all), entails browsing dozens of sites that don't work if
you don't allow this jumble.

There's gallery scripts, comparison scripts, shopping cart scripts,
advertising scripts, tracking scripts...

I get peeved at banking sites that do that crap.  Firstly, they should
just stick to one job (such as letting you manage your personal
finances), steering completely away from advertising crap at you. 
Secondly, every third-party thing they add to their website is a
potential vector for a security breach.  You would think that banks, of
all services, might recognise that.

Also, it's *my* money that they're using to fund everything they do
(and every other account holder).  We should be being paid interest,
not milked.
