How to track referral traffic without URL/ Referrer parameters?

I'd like to track referral traffic however on some places we can't add URL parameters in order not to be considered as spam.

For example, I post this The Beginner's Guide to DevOps​​ on reddit, how can I track leads who come from there?

Is there any script I can add to the page to capture referrals like google analytics and mixpanel do?

If you are truly banned from using a querystring then just use a path parameter.  example.com/learn/what-is-devops;r or example.com/learn/what-is-devops/r can be easily decomposed into path + param.  All in how you configure your server. There's nothing special about the querystring in this way.
