  Use the nifty [Referral Source](https://civicrm.org/extensions/referral-source) extension. Here's how it works: <https://civicrm.org/blog/stoob/new-ways-track-referral-source>.
  
  If you are wanting to use in combination with checksum build your URL e.g.
  
  [https://example.org/civicrm/contribute/transact?reset=1&id=IDNUMBER&source=AndyBurns&{contact.checksum}&cid={contact.contact\_id}](https://example.org/civicrm/contribute/transact?reset=1&id=IDNUMBER&source=AndyBurns&%7Bcontact.checksum%7D&cid=%7Bcontact.contact_id%7D)
