Affiliate links, codes, or cookies must only be included when the extension provides a direct and transparent user benefit related to the extension’s core functionality. It is not permitted to inject affiliate links without related user action and without providing a tangible benefit to users.
Some common violations include:
Inserting affiliate links when no discount, cashback, or donation is provided.
An extension that continuously injects affiliate links in the background without related user action.
