Problem

There's been quite a bit of confusion about how to remove all of the hash tags/anchors/tracking codes from your URLs. This document should help you figure out exactly how to do it and, if they're still showing up, what's going wrong. First, we'll explain what each one looks like and then we'll talk about disabling them.

Click Tracking Codes

Click tracking codes are added after the share event and include an 11 character identifier and a service code separated by a period. Here are some examples:

#.F7dajfk324d.facebook
#.USvUZ935AHc.google
#.USvU9jbqfw9.twitter

Address Bar Tracking Codes

Address bar tracking codes are added to the URL in the address bar using JavaScript. They're just 11 character identifiers without service codes. Here are some examples:

#.USvVcVpAQco
#.USvU7qUot5l
#.USvVqOjpYys

Disabling URL Tracking Codes

These codes can be disabled or enabled separately. To disable Click Tracking Codes, add below codes in Template or in HTML widget:

​<script type="text/javascript">
var addthis_config = addthis_config||{};
addthis_config.data_track_addressbar = false;
</script>
