Filter out Marketo's email tracker from URLs
See original GitHub issueThe Marketo mkt_tok
query string parameter is for tracking users and can be disabled by campaign admins though apparently it’s also used in unsubscribe links.
Here is a longer description of how this parameter is used and what the security implications are: https://medium.com/@thezedwards/facebook-s-ongoing-vip-user-data-exfiltration-vulnerability-via-adobes-marketo-software-why-d8435a259b0
Need to find a real example and test the unsubscribe link before we can strip out in our query string filter.

After a series of online searches, I am convinced that all (or nearly all) of unsubscribe links for Marketo emails contain the parameter
mkt_unsubscribe=1
in the query string. So my approach to fixing this bug is to filter out themkt_tok
query parameter EXCEPT wheremkt_unsubscribe=1
is also present in the query string.
