Referrer is not hidden?

In Pretty Links, you can set your redirect type to Meta Refresh or Javascript to replace the original referrer with the pretty link url itself.

So if the link was embedded on a page like https://www.coolforums.com/topic1/thread0/, then the referrer would not be shown as that URL but the Pretty Link URL (http://yoursite.com/xyz) instead.

If you want to further try and wipe-out the referrer, you can add this to the scripts section of your link, or to the global scripts section:

<meta name="referrer" content="no-referrer" />

Most modern browsers support that, and will not pass along the referrer at all.

If you continue to have issues with this, please let send us a support ticket.
