Remove tracking

Remove tracking from LinkedIn links

LinkedIn's lipi (LinkedIn Impression ID), trk, trackingId, and li_source all track how content moves through the professional network. Together they let LinkedIn attribute impressions, clicks, and downstream engagement to specific share events. Removing them leaves the post URL intact.

What LinkedIn tracks in shared links

lipi is LinkedIn's Impression ID — a signed token that identifies the specific impression of the content. trk (and its cousin trackingId) tags the referring surface or tracking source. li_source names the share surface. Together they power LinkedIn's engagement-attribution graph and feed profile-view and connection-suggestion signals.

LinkedIn tracking parameters explained

li_source
Share surface (share, feed, message, etc.).
lipi
LinkedIn Impression ID — signed per-impression tracker.
trk
Tracking source type — identifies the referring surface.
trackingId
LinkedIn tracking identifier paired with trk.

Frequently asked questions

Does stripping lipi affect the post URL?
No. The activity ID in the URL path is all LinkedIn needs to serve the post. lipi is purely attribution metadata.
