When I reported Amazon Tracking parameter here #85274 I also reported some more I did encounter by getting an Amazon URL, without knowing how to reproduce the link here: #85274 (comment)

I know how to reproduce now:

• disable Adblocking
• go to Google
• search fo a product sold on Amazon e.g. "kz pro"
• click on the Amazon result of "Ad/Anzeige"
• you will get a result like the link here.

You may think "but when you use Adblocker, you don't get the Ad result and the normal search result don't contain tracking parameter". Thats right. But when friends and family may share an URL with you, they don't debloat it and I have to copy/paste the useful part of URL out of it.
Can you check again the porpuse of the URL parameter? Maybe they have any use...? Some appear empty in provided example 🤷‍♂️

In URL you see tag linkCode hvadid hvpos hvnetw hvrand hvpone hvptwo hvqmt hvdev hvdvcmdl hvlocint hvlocphy hvtargid psc th adgrpid hvqmt

I've personally been removing linkCode used on many affiliate links, but no idea about other parameters here.

@Alex-302
Why closing without feedback?

@BlazDT
You checked the Amazon URL Tracking last time. Is this no tracking and have it any use?

[Alex-302]

Do you know the purpose of every of these parameters?

[BlazDT]

I do not know those parameter yet. In general some are required to display action you bought an article already, some are required in chat.

@Alex-302
No, thats why I asked "Can you check again the porpuse of the URL parameter?". So a short "unknown purpose, could break something" would be nice before closing :)
