About Privacy Link Cleaner

Every time you click a link from an email newsletter, a social post, or an ad, the destination URL is quietly loaded with tracking parameters: small tags that tell the receiving site exactly where you came from, which campaign sent you, and sometimes who you are. Parameters like utm_source, fbclid, and gclid are never needed to reach the destination page. They exist solely to feed analytics dashboards and ad attribution systems, often without your awareness.

Privacy Link Cleaner strips all known tracking parameters from any URL instantly, client-side, with no data ever leaving your browser. Paste a long, surveillance-laden Amazon, Facebook, or Google link and get back a clean, minimal URL that loads the same page without the tracking payload. Share it with friends, save it in your notes, or post it publicly; the destination is identical, but the digital fingerprint is gone.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are UTM parameters and why should I remove them?
UTM parameters (utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign, etc.) are tags appended to URLs by marketers to track the source, medium, and campaign that drove a click. They are read by analytics platforms like Google Analytics to attribute traffic. They are entirely optional for loading the destination page: removing them has zero effect on what you see, but it stops the site from knowing you clicked from a specific email campaign or ad.
What is fbclid and why does Facebook add it to links?
fbclid (Facebook Click ID) is a unique identifier that Facebook appends to every outbound link when you click it inside Facebook or Instagram. It allows Facebook to track conversions and match your off-site behavior back to your Facebook profile and ad exposure. Removing it prevents that cross-site attribution while still landing you on the same destination page.
Will removing tracking parameters break the link?
No. Tracking parameters like utm_* codes, fbclid, gclid, and ref tags are never required to load the destination page. They are only read by analytics and advertising scripts. The server serves the same page regardless of whether these parameters are present. Removing them is safe for all standard web URLs.
Is my URL sent to a server when I use this tool?
No. All processing happens entirely in your browser using the native URL and URLSearchParams APIs built into JavaScript. Your URL is never transmitted anywhere: not to AllCoreKit's servers, not to any third party. The tool works completely offline once the page has loaded.
What does the 'ref' parameter track?
The ref parameter is widely used by Amazon, GitHub, Reddit, YouTube, and others to track internal referral paths, for example which section of a page, which recommendation widget, or which external site sent you to the destination. On Amazon, ref encodes a complex attribution string. Removing it does not affect product prices, availability, or your ability to purchase.
