After having the same issue I reached out to Squarespace support and received the following workarounds:
If you use the www version of a link, such as www.yourlink.com
www.yourlink.com
vs. yourlink.comyourlink.com
, it will prevent the parameters from being stripped.Another option would be to use "#"
#
instead a "?"?
when creating the utm tracking.
We implemented #1, and it's been working seamlessly. Hope this helps!
