How did topads-site[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites need user consent to send notifications, usually given by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option in a browser pop-up. If topads-site[.]com is showing notifications, it means you have granted it such permission.
