• Open source and built with privacy in mind

How does it work?

Websites often add tracking parameters to URLs to measure clicks, identify where visitors came from, or associate browsing activity with advertising and analytics campaigns.

For example:

https://example.com/?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=sale


ClearURLs removes the known tracking parameters:

https://example.com/


The destination remains the same, while unnecessary tracking information is removed.
