What’s the difference between traditional UTMs and Nemu UTMs?

Traditional UTMs are parameters you already use in your business (e.g., Google Analytics), like utm_source, utm_campaign, utm_medium, among others. Nemu UTMs are parameters that Nemu uses to track your sales (e.g., Facebook Ads, Google Ads, etc.), like nemu_source, nemu_campaign, nemu_adset, nemu_content, among others. These parameters are added to the end of a URL to provide specific information about the traffic source. Example of URL with traditional UTMs:
https://www.example.com/product?utm_source=google&utm_campaign=summer_promo
Example of URL with Traditional UTMs + Nemu UTMs:
https://www.example.com/product?utm_source=google&utm_campaign=summer_promo&nemu_source=google&nemu_campaign=summer_promo

What are UTMs?

UTMs, based on the old web analytics tool called Urchin, are text fragments added to the end of a URL to provide specific information about the traffic source. They consist of parameters, each with a distinct purpose:
ParameterDescription

MediumDefines the type of traffic, such as social, cpc (cost per click), organic, among others.
CampaignIdentifies the specific campaign that is driving traffic, such as a holiday promotion or product launch.
TermUsed mainly in paid ads to track specific keywords.
ContentUsed to differentiate ads or similar links that point to the same URL.
