Ok ok you're right. The URL does contain a tracking token but it does not exclusively track OSM usage. I have overreacted because I have in the past dealt with advertisers who had added an OSM-specific "campaign" ID the the links which was clearly out of line, and suspected the same here. This leads to the interesting question of what the correct URL for a business is and who decides that. If the business owner says "but the correct URL for my business is ...?wdycf=openstreetmap", what do we do? In theory they could configure their web site to only accept a few well-defined wdycf values. (Apparently in this particular case, not only the WT.mc_id parameter is decorative, the whole hotel name is; even https://www.hilton.com/en/hotels/bhxsadi-camping-in-the-woods/ directs you to https://www.hilton.com/en/hotels/bhxsadi-doubletree-stratford-upon-avon/...)
