Can I include an Amazon Affiliate Tag in my Chrome extension

Hey,

I've been playing with the idea of including a small script that adds my affiliate tag to every request to amazon.com to my app.

Does anyone know if this:

a) violates their ToS, (is this legal to do basically) b) does this track users (I am assuming it doesn't, but if it does it would be good to know)

I think this could be a good way of keeping an extension free while generating revenue on a moral way, any other extension devs with experience on that matter?

Best to do your homework, read the terms & conditions on your account page, and if need be, get in touch with them. Amazon can be pretty unforgiving when it comes to suspending accounts - in their eyes, being an affiliate or selling on their platform is a privilege, and they simply have the last word.

With "your app" you mean a website/web application or your browser extension?
