What it means
UTM parameters are query-string tags (utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign, and related fields) appended to links so analytics can attribute visits to a campaign. They are necessary but not sufficient—identity, sessions, and downstream revenue still have to stay connected.
Convertmax take
Convertmax preserves campaign context through the journey so UTMs are not stranded as orphaned session labels when revenue finally happens.
