How does a third-party ad provider decide what ad to deliver to a web-page when it's loaded in a browser? And in what format is this data delivered? Let's say my web-page contains no ad-relevant or differentiating content, but I do know lots about my user: demographic profile, interests, browsing history etc. So the ad I want loaded must be user- (profile-) dependent, and not page specific.

So the question is: has any one built, or have an idea of how to build, a scraper-like tool that will return the final destination url of an ad. Initial discovery: Some ads are in Flash, JavaScript, or plain HTML.
