parameters not allowing URL to be blaclisted

[ad_1]

Hello,

When I add parameters to the block list of a banner i put in Ad inserter it is properly blocked.

https://website.com/how-to/how-to-read/ (not actual website, but an example)

However, when that link is sent out via my newsletter, my newsletter adds parameters to the end of the link in the newsletter. Example:

https://website.com/how-to/how-to-read/?utm_campaign=Feb_13_2024_Tuesday_Newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_source=newsletter

When it does that and a user clicks on the link and is brought to the page, the banner I had blocked is now appearing. FYI, the parameter you see above remains in the browser window and does not get redirected to just the https://website.com/how-to/how-to-read/ site.

I followed your advice here:

https://adinserter.pro/documentation/black-and-white-lists#url-parameters

“List url query parameters where you want insertion (white list) or don’t want insertion (black list). You can specify either parameters or parameters with values. For example for url http://example.com?data=2&customer-id=22&device=0 you can define url parameters data, customer-id=22 to insert block (ad) only for urls where there is data parameter or customer-id parameter with value 22. “

And in my example above tried adding the following parameters to the URL parameter block list

Feb_13_2024_Tuesday_Newsletter

email

newsletter

But they didn’t work.

I am currently using the free version of the plugin. Does the above only work in the paid version? Or is the above supposed to be working in the free version too?

thank you,
Matt
