Your forms collect leads. UTM Tracker for Gravity Forms tells you which marketing earned them. The plugin reads campaign data from the URL a visitor arrives on, remembers it in first-party cookies, and automatically fills matching hidden fields when any Gravity Form is submitted. Every entry arrives with the exact campaign, ad click, landing page, and traffic channel that generated it — ready for reports, CRM sync, and follow-up. Stop guessing which marketing works. See which Google Ads campaign fills your pipeline, which social post actually converts, and which leads arrived from AI search — directly in your Gravity Forms entries. Why UTM Tracker?

Privacy & performance Tracking values are stored in first-party cookies and saved to Gravity Forms entries in your own database — tracking makes no external requests. The only external call the plugin can ever make is the optional email-updates signup in the Get Started wizard, with your explicit consent (see External Services below). The dependency-free frontend tracker loads deferred, and admin assets load only on the plugin’s own pages. For direct support, email [email protected]. External Services The optional “Stay Updated” email signup on the final step of the Get Started wizard connects to a newsletter service run by the plugin author, Auxano Global Services. Nothing is sent unless you enter an email address, tick the consent checkbox, and click Finish setup — leaving the field empty or using Skip sends nothing. With your consent, your email address and basic site information (site URL and software versions) are sent so we can email you about plugin updates, and you can unsubscribe at any time. No visitor, tracking, or form data is ever transmitted. Third-Party Libraries All libraries are bundled locally and load only on the plugin’s own admin pages — no CDNs, no external requests.
