UTM-codes and product variation in URL

    Hi,
    Recently bought the plugin and very happy with it!

    I have some social sharing buttons on our product pages. They update (using JS) when a variation is changed, so people can share the specific product/color. It all works.
    Until UTM-codes come into play.

    Product A with default setting of yellow.
    Change color to black the URL becomes:
    /product/productA/?attribute_pa_color=black&utm_medium=social&utm_source=whatsapp&utm_campaign=share-button

    When visiting this URL in a private tab the product page loads and changes the black to yellow.

    Any idea what can cause this? I have the Redirection plugin installed, but don’t have any redirects set for this page.

    Same behaviour with gclid added. It always loads the default set product if there’s any addition in the URL.

    I found it has something to do with caching. When I disabled WP Fastest Cache (https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/wp-fastest-cache/) this issue goes away.

    I’d expect javascript included with this plugin to look at the url after loading the page and selecting the proper variant.
    This way the page itself can be served from cache (=fast) and yet the customer sees the product he clicked on in Google Ads.
