URL Cleaning: How to Remove UTM Parameters and Trackers from Your Links

Every time you share a link to a product you are interested in, or click on a news item on social media, the web address is usually full of long tags. These parameters, such as `utm_source`, `fbclid` or `gclid`, are web crawling tools.

The invisible tracking chain

When you visit a URL with these identifiers, analytics scripts collect valuable information:

• Which social network you clicked on.
• What advertising campaign motivated you.
• Who shared the link with you (in the case of unique identifiers).

This creates a footprint of your personal interactions that digital advertising agencies exploit to build detailed business behavior profiles.
