Everytime I copy a link from a Discourse thread, it appends my username parameter (?u=emyoulation
) to the URL.
Does anyone know of what use this is?
Is it some sort of tracking ‘cookie’?
(I assume that the ?fbclid=
gobblygoop that Facebook now appends onto every external link in their threads is part of their tracking system for billable click-throughs. So that normally gets trimmed in any of my Internet Address records in a Gramps Tree.)
