When trying to to direct link to anything except the home page, e.g.

https://shapeoftheweb.mozilla.org/access/affordable?utm_source=testtest

The query parameters are stripped.

We'd like to maintain these parameters to be able to share certain issues in some of our owned channels, and track effectiveness.

Would like to get this solved in the next day if possible.
NI pmac for input

My initial research suggests that there is a CloudFront setting that will help us here. Apparently CF strips query params before sending to s3 by default. Unfortunately I don't have access to our CF distributions.

:digi can you help here?

I'll take a look at this today

I've made the change and it's being distributed out right now. I'll test and close this out in a bit.

Cory,

Things look good on my end, but there's no real way to verify from here. Can you check on your end and close this out? Thanks!
Thanks Shyam. Cory?

:fox2mike - still stripping the parameters on my side :(

I think we can close this.

Looks like the app is stripping the parameters, but the utm parameters are still being registered in GA.
