Because of this privacy concern , NCBI's website tells web browsers to limit the referrer to just the scheme and domain name (e.g., https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov), and to omit the request URI and query string. This limitation is enforced by the Referrer-Policy HTTP header and the <meta name="referrer"> meta tag.
