I don’t find a setting to exclude this from data collection. ![Näyttökuva 2023-8-7 kello 13.13.17](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/piwikpro/original/2X/3/3a1153dfd60e1b7f8dd7628b97b23fdbe26c0ec7.png) ---

Hi there! There is an option to exclude those parameters in site settings: > **Exclude URL parameters** : Lets you exclude parameters from the URL, making your reports look cleaner. For example, instead of the URL that looks like this [clearbank.com/?\_stg\_debug](http://clearbank.com/?_stg_debug) you’ll see the URL that looks like this [clearbank.com](http://clearbank.com). Note: Regex (regular expression) is supported. The added parameters are case-insensitive. Here is a handy article about different site settings available: [About site or app settings | Piwik PRO help center](https://help.piwik.pro/support/getting-started/about-site-or-app-settings/) 😄
