Here's a an example of a link from a Squarespace newsletter:

https://kristenyarker.com/kristen-yarker-dietitian-blog/2022/6/15/chocolate-banana-ice-pops?ss_source=sscampaigns&ss_campaign_id=6305392a3d8976566686c28f&ss_email_id=6307bc4b0140600a14744bc1&ss_campaign_name=Meal+prep+hacks%2C+is+hiding+veggies+OK%2C+new+healthy+homemade+popsicles&ss_campaign_sent_date=2022-08-25T18%3A16%3A00Z

Based on the name, ss_email_id, it seems very likely that this tracks clicks from a specific email subscriber.

The unsubscribe link doesn't use that parameter either: https://campaign-preferences.com/unsubscribe/kGuWLaa4X9G8tzigwnD...7kG-mR..Nmd_eVNJW-TUdrVUrwvY-...men5TGkFszr6FEeI8-...LskvlwyqqthfOXA-S3V...8M
