Please accept this in the ethos of no stupid questions.
The only programming I do is to defy tracking by deleting hash lines after ? In the url.
Some popular sites I am embarrassed to admit to even viewing have found a way around this by offering me share links without the ?.
It’s Instagram I am ashamed to mention.
What do I do to get rid of the tracking now?
Don’t use the share with shortened url. Copy the page url instead.
Otherwise (you’ll have to) accept that you don’t know what’s included in the shortened link.
