Hello I have noticed the following behavior with the <Link> component and <a> element when Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics installed.
1) If the href is internal and has target="_blank", when open in new tab it’s URL get parameters like this :
?_gl=1p1je79_upMQ.._gaNTMxOTQ2NDkyLjE3NTcwODU0MTM._ga_LYWKDH6QTJ*czE3NTcwODU0MTMkbzEkZzAkdDE3NTcwODU0MTMkajYwJGwwJGgw
2) If href is external has target="_blank" , when open in new tabs it’s normal
I want to be able to use target="_blank" with out the GA parameter being passed in the URL.
Is there a simple way of solving this without having to look through GTM / GA Admin for every website I make? Is there even a solution for this?
