With privacy regulations (GDPR, CCPA) in place, do I need to do anything special for affiliate links or tracking?

Yes, privacy laws like GDPR and CCPA mean you should be clear about how you collect and use data. If your affiliate links use tracking cookies, you may need to let users know. A simple cookie notice on your website can help with this. It’s also a good idea to have a privacy policy that explains what data is collected and why. Some affiliate programs might handle most of the tracking for you, but you still have to let your visitors know that affiliate links may collect information. Being open about this builds trust and keeps you within legal rules. Are there other ways people handle privacy and tracking that you’ve come across?
