_gl parameter added to internal URLs

[ad_1]

Hi,

When activating the Site Kit plugin and activating both UA and GA4 codes, I get “?_gl=…” query parameters on all internal links on the site. For instance, the link from the home page to the contact page will have ?_gl=11rjn068… added to the URL. This issue does not occur if only the UA code is activated.

Is this expected behavior? My understanding (admittedly not very deep) is that the _gl parameter is used for cross-domain tracking (thus, not internal links on my own site/domain) or for AMP. But the site is not using the AMP plugin.

Kind regards
