Those ads aren’t unauthorised. It’s clearly stated on our site, wordpress.com shows ads on every free site to cover the costs – https://wordpress.com/support/no-ads/. You agreed when you set up your free site.
If you don’t want ads on your free site, you must upgrade to a paid plan whereas the personal Plan is the cheapest.

Hi there!
As @staartmees mentioned above, free WordPress.com sites are ad-supported. Those ads help us keep free sites running for free. We recommend upgrading to a WordPress.com plan if you’d like to remove ads from your site.
The WordPress.com Personal plan is a great starting point that will remove ads from your site. If you upgrade to the yearly plan, you can also get a free domain registration for the first year. That lets you use a custom domain so your visitors see that instead of your WordPress.com site address.
You can upgrade using the link below if you’re interested:
Feel free to let us know if you have more questions.
