UTM parameters

Urchin tracking module tags

Tags appended to a link so analytics can tell where a visit came from.

In practice

Agree a naming convention and enforce it. Half the attribution problems we inherit are `Email` and `email` counted as two channels.

Never tag internal links — it restarts the session and hands the credit to the wrong source.

Why it matters

They are the cheapest attribution you will ever implement, and the easiest to break silently.
