Option to disable/remove campaign level tracking about pirsch HOT 7 CLOSED

I'll add an option for it.

from pirsch.

I have added three new options for the scripts that will be made available later today:

• data-disable-query
• data-disable-referrer
• data-disable-resolution

You can simply add them to the script like this:

<script defer type="text/javascript" src="https://api.pirsch.io/pirsch.js" 
    id="pirschjs" 
    data-code="YOUR_IDENTIFICATION_CODE"
    data-disable-query></script>

Thank you so much for this @Kugelschieber

We really appreciate that you are open to making this change and for rolling it out so quickly.

The easiest method to do that would be to copy the JS snippet and remove the parameters from the URL that's sent to us here: https://github.com/pirsch-analytics/pirsch/blob/master/js/pirsch.js#L88

You would then have to host the JS file yourself. I would recommend minifying it as we do in the package.json.

Here is a replacement for line 88 that will remove all query parameters:

"&url=" + encodeURIComponent((location.href.includes('?') ? location.href.split('?')[0] : location.href).substring(0, 1800)) +

Although we can make this change (we would also omit referrer) we would prefer not to host our own version.

As an agency we have projects that can last for ±10 years.
The benefit of a hosted snippet for Pirsch is that it can be updated by you in case there is an API change.

We are looking for a low maintenance and maximally compliant service to gather minimal usage statistics.

What's the reason for this feature request? You could also just ignore the UTM panels on the dashboard. I would rather not inflate the script with too many configuration options.

Also, we don't make API-breaking changes. Should we ever rebuild the page view endpoint, we would publish it as /api/v2/... instead of replacing the current one.

the removal of any parameters contained in the collected URLs (e.g. UTMs, but also URL parameters allowing internal routing of the site);

This guideline is why we would like not to send any query params to any 3rd party.
