What is fbclid? the new facebook parameter [closed]

Solution 1:

I know that gclid, is short for (Google Click Identifier)
It's a unique tracking parameter that Google uses to transfer information between your Google Ads account and your Google Analytics account.

Facebook must be doing the same thing or something similar with fbclid to improve tracking analytics systems.

Here is cite from the link:

Put this code in your .htaccess file:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} "fbclid=" [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) /$1? [R=301,L]

If you work in WordPress:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} "fbclid=" [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) /$1? [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
