Tracking parameters glossary

Every parameter LinkClean strips by default, with a one-line summary of what it leaks and where it came from. Tap one for the longer explanation.

UTM campaign tags

utm_sourceutm_source names where a click came from — “newsletter”, “twitter”, “google”. It's a Google Analytics campaign tag, not part of the page. Removing it never breaks the link.

Ad-click identifiers

fbclidfbclid is a per-click token Meta attaches to outbound links from Facebook and Instagram. It ties that click back to your Facebook session for ad attribution. Strip it before you share — sharing it carries the identifier into someone else's browser.
gclidgclid is Google Ads' per-click identifier — added to every outbound click from Google Search ads, YouTube ads, and the Display Network. It exists to credit ad spend. Removing it never breaks the link.

Clean it on iPhone, in one tap.

LinkClean strips this parameter — and 80+ others — from any link, from any app's share sheet. No account, on-device.
