Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Referrer Analytics
A "self-referral" is traffic coming to the site that has been referred by the same site. Referrer Analytics will typically ignore this type of traffic except when ran on certain hosts such as Pantheon.io. Learn more about "self-referrals" in Pantheon's documentation.
Referrer Analytics relies on $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER]. Due to increasing privacy settings, there's a handful of edge cases where this variable isn't available. These include: "direct" visitors (typed a URL in the browser or used a bookmark) Followed a link from outside the browser (from an email or mobile app) Referred from http to https, browsers hid the referrer for security Browser modified to not send referrer (browser extensions) Using a proxy server that removes referrer headers Clicked a link that has an HTML5 rel=noreferrer attribute Uses JavaScript to link to your site (window.open or location.href) meta refresh redirects Request was made by a robot You can choose to have a URL parameter fallback if one exists such as utm_source if the $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER] is unavailable. Note that some CMS like WordPress, automatcially add rel=noreferrer to external links. You can control this from the plugin settings page.

You can access Google Analytics UTM values via cookies when plugin cookies are enabled. This can be useful with certain hosts like Pantheon, that strip this information on the backend. They also persist during the user's session allowing advanced tracking and reporting (ex. pass UTM values to hidden form inputs). The following cookies are available: referrer-analytics-utm_source referrer-analytics-utm_medium referrer-analytics-utm_campaign referrer-analytics-utm_term referrer-analytics-utm_content
