Tracking URLs with query strings

I looked through the FAQs and forums, but couldn’t find an answer to this:

On one of my sites, I feed a username and software license number to a page with a query string, like so:

example.com/finish.php?name=someone&license=0123

In my pages pane, each visit to that page gets logged on a separate line, since the query string values are different every time. Is there any way for Mint to collapse those page hits, so that finish.php is being tracked in aggregate, and the query strings get ignored? Thanks!

i actually have the same situation because i’m using link spice to track internal traffic. i’m curious to know if anyone has a solution for this.

Nope, not possible. Mint is designed to use query strings as a distinguishing factor—which is what is usually desired. I’ll take a look at the Default Pepper and see if I can add an advanced Preference to allow this.
