I think you may be able to continue my opening prompt

You can reply or ask questions about using utm
the Urchin Tracking Module.
Privacy has become a real problem for Google as a 3rd party so you will need to create utm_campaign={clickid}-{campaignid}-{token3}-{token4}&utm_{?}= etc

``bard says --the new google spokesman

Here are the default UTM parameters that you can track in GA4:
1. utm_source:

• Identifies the specific source or platform of the traffic, such as:
  • Google
  • Facebook
  • Twitter
  • Newsletter
  • Referral link

2. utm_medium:

• Specifies the type of traffic, such as:
  • Organic
  • Paid
  • Social
  • Email
  • Referral

3. utm_campaign:

• Designates the name of the specific marketing campaign, allowing you to track performance across different campaigns.

4. utm_term:

• Used for paid search campaigns to capture the specific keywords that triggered the ad.

5. utm_content:

• Facilitates A/B testing of different elements within a campaign, such as variations in ad copy or landing pages.

6. utm_id:

• A unique identifier for a non-Google paid ad campaign.
  • Required for accurate cost data integration in GA4.

7. utm_source_platform:

• Identifies the platform within a specific source, such as:
  • iOS
  • Android
  • Desktop

8. utm_referrer:

• Captures the URL of the previous page that linked to your website.
  • While not a standard UTM parameter, GA4 can track it.

`` these are the possibilities ^^ we could use

Thank the GDPR and the
The California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA)
for these new issues

I have to track my white label that has my GA4 code installed
have to change my old link key names into utm_variables=my old tracking identifiers that is the only way to track cross-domain now with GA4
My ad network link would remain the same if I am using my own pre lander for redirection the change is needed to show in GA4

So,

this is what I had to use --I was changing numbers ===

?AFNO=1-554821-3320-utm_source-94384-45693&utm_campaign=name775&utm_referrer=c55

campaign name and query string:

Only the entry page URL includes the query string the the entire string is returned in a postback (they tell me) on a registration or sale.

Note the engaged sessions bots and bounces.

This domain is not being advertised yet so the only traffic is me testing the G4 tracking and setting the tracking up.

the numbers will have a unique or segment meaning --they are made dynamically after my page click and redirected to the target site or wite label in this case.

this downloads as a csv with details

Thank you, this is informative.

It is a shame I cannot pdf the whole bard page.
I tried to click save the chat but I got that bard is not supported in my country.

Thank you for your explanation.
I shall not use it for evil but for ethical money.
Good idea by the way.
