I am running an affiliate offer on Facebook ads with a URL Parameter/subid that directs to an Unbounce Landing page. 
The click to action button on the Unbounce page goes to an affiliate link with the “pass through URL parameters” enabled. 

I then have a 3rd party tracker WeCanTrack script on the page that appends a unique clickID to the URL for each session. My problem is that the clickID is not passing over once the user clicks on the CTA button. 3rd party support is blaming Unbounce’s functionality and stating that they are seeing Unbounce modifying the click URL in the CTA button (Looks like CSS or some type of  button styling in the URL). See Screenshot. 

Any solutions to stop the modification during redirect?

3rd Party Script that’s on the landing page:

<script type="text/javascript">
(function(w, c, t, u) {
    w._wct = w._wct || {}; w._wct = u;
    var s = c.createElement(t);
    s.type = 'text/javascript'; s.async = true; s.src = 'https://wct-2.com/wct.js?type=session';
    var r = c.getElementsByTagName(t)e0];
    r.parentNode.insertBefore(s, r);
}(window, document, 'script', {
    'uid' : 'ssKmcy',
    'proxy' : 'https://wct-2.com',
    'auto_tagging' : true
}));
</script>

It sounds like the issue might indeed be related to how Unbounce handles URL modifications on CTA buttons. When Unbounce applies certain stylings or scripts to the CTA button, it can sometimes alter the final URL that’s passed through. This might interfere with the tracking parameters, including your unique clickID.

To resolve this issue, consider the following steps:

  1. Check Button Settings: Make sure that the button settings in Unbounce aren’t set to "Use dynamic text" or other features that might alter the URL dynamically.

  2. Custom Script: If Unbounce is modifying the URL, you could try using a custom JavaScript snippet to manually append the clickID to the final redirect URL, bypassing any potential changes Unbounce might apply.

  3. Direct HTML: Instead of relying on Unbounce’s built-in CTA button, you could try adding an HTML element with a custom link that you have full control over, ensuring no unexpected changes.

  4. Contact Unbounce Support: Since this involves their platform's handling of URLs, it might be worth reaching out to Unbounce’s support team directly with this specific issue, especially if their system is interfering with the necessary URL parameters.

If none of these steps work, it may be necessary to consider an alternative landing page platform that provides more control over URL parameters and doesn’t interfere with third-party tracking scripts.

For anyone in the future that is looking for a solution on how to remove the clk wrapper. Here is a thread with great solutions.
