Ah, damnit. Amazon affiliate links. Accidentally clicking one of these will mean any purchases you make on Amazon over the next 24 hours or so will be visible to the author, and also give them a small cut of the sale. Potentially up to 90 days in the future for that specific item. For example, I run Affiliate links and I get a commission on sales of even of things unrelated to the link I post, and I can see everything that's purchased. I've had all kinds of totally unrelated things get me a commission: Condoms, feminine hygiene products, self-help books. Things most people would consider very personal.
