As far as I know they do not get that. Mozilla aggregates and anonymizes the people that clicked on the sponsored link. Of course Amazon knows when you request their site, but they do not know that you clicked it from the sponsored link (as far as I know)

Yeah I meant the latter - you visit the Amazon website, and then your IP address is shared with them. I have no idea how broad these legal clauses are, and it could be that there's a need to (legally) guard against even that.

Well that is just the basis of browsing the web... If you don't want to share your IP you have to proxy your traffic though some other server like a VPN for example...

Yes, but we're talking legalese here, not common sense, so I don't want to make any assumptions 😅
