Option to remove tracking url from store links.

Open
NeverOnline

I noticed recently that there's a tracking utm_source=SteamGiftspart, added at the end of the store link, in the giveaways. When was that introduced and is there some reasoning for it? Usually we're trying to avoid getting "followed" by trackers/tracking URLs. Is there a way/setting to remove it and if not, please add one..

This might be it, not 100% sure.

uBO can strip tracking query params in URLs. I believe it's already included in one of the "privacy" filters, something like:

$removeparam=utm_source
