Privacy and local processing

Local workflow

  • Paste the URL into the local cleaner.
  • Review removed tracking parameters and preserved parameters.
  • Copy the cleaned URL.
  • Test important links before sending them to someone else.

Before sharing the output

  • Preserve unknown parameters that may control search, filters, language, coupons, or product variants.
  • Avoid cleaning private account, invite, reset, payment, or tokenized URLs in any shared environment.
  • Check that the cleaned link still opens the intended destination.
  • Remember URL cleaning is not a full anti-tracking system.

Supported files and limitations

Supported: One full URL starting with http:// or https://.

  • Unknown query parameters are preserved by default because they may be needed for page behavior.
  • Tracking can also appear in redirects, path segments, or encoded nested URLs; this tool does not guess unless a rule is documented.
  • Malformed URLs show a validation message.

Tracking parameter remover vs ad blocker

A tracking parameter remover cleans visible URL parameters before you share a link. It does not block ads, scripts, cookies, redirects, or tracking after you visit a website. It is a sharing hygiene tool, not a full privacy extension.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Do not paste passwords, private tokens, invite links, or reset links into any tool you do not fully trust.
  • Do not remove every query parameter automatically; some are required for the page to work.
  • Do not claim cleaned URLs stop cookies, fingerprinting, or account-based tracking.
  • Do not use URL cleaning as a substitute for browser privacy settings or security tools.

FAQ

Which parameters are removed?

The default blocklist includes common UTM parameters, fbclid, gclid, msclkid, mc_cid, mc_eid, igshid, ref, and ref_src.

Will this break links?

Usually no for common tracking parameters, but some websites misuse query parameters. The tool lists removed parameters so you can review the change.

Are URLs uploaded?

No. Cleaning happens locally in your browser.

Does this remove every tracker?

No. It removes documented query parameters only.

Can I clean multiple URLs?

This launch version is focused on one URL at a time. Batch cleaning can be added later.
