Thank you for letting us know how to avoid being tracked when searching.
“UTM stands for the Urchin Tracking Module, which is a bit of a mouthful. Urchin was originally a web analytics software, developed by Urchin Software Corporation and designed to track the behavior of unique website visitors. Google bought it in 2005 and the acquisition led to the creation of Google Analytics, which became the most popular web data analytics tool across the internet.
Nowadays, the Urchin Module tagging is an analytics tool used by marketers to track the impact of their online marketing efforts, better understand their audience’s behavior, and measure performance. For instance, UTM tags allow you to discover which channels bring the most sales conversions to your website.
It’s made up of tags (also called modules or variables), which you add to the end of a link, to track and analyze the given page’s traffic sources. When a person clicks on the given link, these parameters are sent back to Google Analytics and will appear in the different Analytics dashboards. The analytics system, therefore, allows you to specifically track where your visitors come from.”
