Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
1) Your question is not clear. Explain the procedure of AdSense in detail.
2) You may enquire from the manufacture on the source of the leather. If the leather is from pig, it will be prohibited. If it is from another source, it will be permissible.[1]

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، أَخْبَرَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ بِلَالٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ وَعْلَةَ، أَخْبَرَهُ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «إِذَا دُبِغَ الْإِهَابُ فَقَدْ طَهُرَ»

وَمِنْهَا الدِّبَاغُ لِلْجُلُودِ النَّجِسَةِ فَالدِّبَاغُ تَطْهِيرٌ لِلْجُلُودِ كُلِّهَا إلَّا جِلْدَ الْإِنْسَانِ وَالْخِنْزِيرِ كَذَا ذَكَرَ الْكَرْخِيُّ.
