Is there a way to strip the dclid and fbclid identifiers?

We track URL and now that our paid social campaigns come to the site with fbclid and dclid reporting is strained.

Is there a filter option in Admin or do we need to solve this via DTM/Launch?

as far as I know there is no filter option in admin...

possible solutions:

1) Classification

if you use a custom prop/eVar for the URL you can create a classification with a regex rule to "rewrite" the URL. this leaves the original values unchanged (might be needed somewhere else?) while you have a new dimension for the URLs without the params.

2) DTM/Launch

Update the code to record the URL without the desired query parameters. If you are overwriting the default "page URL" variable, I recommend to save the deleted query parameters in a custom prop/evar
