Sometimes, URLs may contain sensitive information like tokens or email addresses. Matomo offers a feature to exclude this data, helping you maintain privacy and security.

Visit your Matomo dashboard, navigate to Administration > Websites > Manage, and select the website you want to update. Click the edit icon and input the parameters you want to exclude in the Excluded Parameters field.

For instance, adding token will remove the token parameter from a query like ?page=authorization&token=abcd.

Note that Excluded Parameters supports regular expressions as well!
