Tracking can be done in JS via onclick event also. What makes you so sure it's not about masking referrer?

- martin_a 8y agoBecause I've done tracking like that for several years, lots of services are still doing it this way and because rel="noopener" or rel="noreferrer" is the way to go if you want to mask the referrer. Even Google recommends to do it that way[0]. If you are not using it for tracking, there is no point in doing it like this after all.
