Tracking Info

Tracking Info

Ever wonder what those extra bits in your links are? The "Tracking Info" feature in Link Sanitizer lets you see exactly what was removed!

What is Tracking Info?

When Link Sanitizer cleans a link, it removes tracking parameters. These are little pieces of information that websites use to track where you're coming from or what you clicked on. The "Tracking Info" button shows you a list of these removed parameters.

How to Use Tracking Info

1. Clean a link: First, paste your link into Link Sanitizer and let it clean it up.
2. Click "Tracking Info": Click the "Tracking Info" button.
3. See the list: A list of the removed tracking parameters will appear below.

What You'll See

The list will show you the exact names of the tracking parameters that were removed. For example, you might see:

• utm_source=newsletter
• fbclid=1234567890
• gclid=ABCDEFG

These names tell you what kind of information was being tracked.

Why Use Tracking Info?

• Learn about tracking: It helps you understand how websites track you.
• Check the cleaning: You can make sure Link Sanitizer removed the parameters you wanted.
• See what was removed: it gives you a clear visual of what was removed.

Example

Let's say you have this link:

https://www.example.com/page?utm_source=newsletter&fbclid=1234567890&extra=something

1. Clean it with link sanitizer.
2. Click the "Tracking Info" button.

You'll see a list that looks like this:

• utm_source=newsletter
• fbclid=1234567890

Important Note

The "Tracking Info" feature only shows the parameters that Link Sanitizer recognized and removed. It might not catch everything.
