What Are Tracking Parameters?

Tracking parameters are extra bits added to URLs that companies use to track where you came from and how you interact with their content. Here's an example:

Original URL with tracking:

https://www.amazon.com/product?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=spring2024

Cleaned URL:

https://www.amazon.com/product

Examples of common tracking parameters include:

  • utm_source - Tracks where you came from
  • fbclid - Facebook click identifier
  • ref - Referral source tracking
  • gclid - Google click identifier
  • dclid - DoubleClick campaign tracking
  • twclid - Twitter click identifier

When someone shares a link containing tracking parameters in your Discord server, the bot automatically detects it and sends a cleaned version. This helps protect your members' privacy and keeps chat's links clean and readable. The original message remains unchanged, so users can still access the tracked version if needed. If the original author doesn't want to keep the cleaned URL for some reason, they can use the trash can reaction on the bot's message to delete it.
