What tracking parameters does this tool remove?

It removes utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign, utm_term, utm_content, fbclid, gclid, msclkid, ref, referrer, mc_eid, _hsenc, _hsmi, mkt_tok, igshid, twclid, li_fat_id, and many more. You can also preview and manually deselect any parameter.

Does removing tracking parameters break the link?

No. Tracking parameters are only used by analytics systems to attribute traffic. They are not required for the destination page to load. Removing them delivers you to the same content without revealing your traffic source.

Why do sites add tracking parameters to URLs?

Marketers append tracking parameters to measure which campaigns, emails, or social posts drive traffic. When you click a UTM-tagged link, the destination site records the source and medium in their analytics, building a profile of how you arrived.

Is my URL sent to any server?

No. The URL is parsed and cleaned entirely in your browser using the native URL API. Nothing leaves your device.

fbclid (Facebook Click Identifier) is a parameter Facebook appends to links shared on its platform. When you click such a link, the destination site can match your visit to a Facebook ad audience, even without Facebook cookies.

gclid (Google Click Identifier) is appended by Google Ads to track ad clicks. It lets advertisers correlate your visit with a specific ad impression and keyword.

Can I clean multiple URLs at once?

The current tool processes one URL at a time. Paste each URL individually, copy the cleaned version, and repeat. Batch processing is planned for a future update.

Should I share cleaned URLs?

Yes, when privacy matters. Sharing a clean URL prevents the recipient's analytics from attributing the visit to your specific campaign click, protecting their browsing privacy.
