Capturing URL Parameters from previous pages on forms

[Matthew_Firetto]

I'm trying to capture tracking code data from URLs on forms that are on standalone pages. We are running campaigns with tracked links to a landing page, but when visitors leave the landing page to go to a form, we lose the url paramater data. Is there a way to retain these paramaters for the leads that fill out the forms on other pages?

Sure, a typical way is to use a cookie-based touch persistence library like Conversion Path.

Note if the form is literally on the *next* page view, you can Autofill hidden fields from Referrer Params (= query params on the Referrer URL). No need for cookies in that case.

I figured using cookies would be the ideal way to collect this info. Thanks for the tip on the referrer param, that's a start at least to collect some data in the meantime.
