When we use monetized affiliate links in our commerce content, we are legally required to disclose this to our users. This is referred to as the affiliate disclaimer. As soon as an affiliate link is added to a page, displaying the affiliate disclaimer is mandatory!
For more information, refer to the FTC guidelines.
