click on affiliate link with selenium and python-CodePudding

I have a problem grabbing an affiliate link that I receive a confirmation email. There is no button to click in email and just a full visible link:

https://website.com/en-am/niv/users/confirmation?confirmation_token=inxY3xs5t9vjaKWH4yt5

I used different find_elements in selenium but had no success

<a href="https://website.com/en-am/niv/users/confirmation?confirmation_token=inxY3xs5t9vjaKWH4yt5">https://website.com/en-am/niv/users/confirmation?confirmation_token=inxY3xs5t9vjaKWH4yt5</a>

Xpath: /html/body/div/p[2]/a

there is no ID,Class,Name,etc to use other type of find_elements. I also tried By.PARTIAL_LINK_TEXT and got error

Traceback (most recent call last):
