Canonical URL

A canonical URL is the preferred version among duplicate or very similar page URLs. A canonical annotation signals that preference to search engines; it does not automatically redirect visitors.[1]

For product pages carrying tracking parameters, it can identify one preferred address. Align internal links and sitemap entries with that choice. Google may select another canonical when the signals conflict.
