> Google and Facebook have been adding gclid and fbclid arguments to outgoing links for a while.

Can you you send me an example of both of those please?

gclid seems to be for adwords only. imo, if you're already the type to click on ads, you shouldn't object to tracking of which site you came from. fbclid on the other hand applies to all links from facebook. it was a major story on HN: https://hn.algolia.com/?query=fbclid
