Hello,

Welcome to the WPML support forum. I will do my best to help you to resolve the issue.

I can see that parameter in the URL (?_gl=1%2A4osfvv%2A_ga**). It is coming from Google Analytics and will not create any issues in the site functionality.

Please refer to the following Google documentation and related tickets for more information.
