Short answer

Yes. TapCub reads the click ID that 14 ad platforms append to landing URLs — gclid, msclkid, bd_vid and more — automatically, with nothing to configure. The raw ID is never shown or exported, only a type and a hash.

14 platforms, no setup

TapCub reads the click ID that ad platforms append to landing URLs — Google Ads, Meta, TikTok, Microsoft Ads, X Ads, LinkedIn, Snapchat, Pinterest, Reddit Ads and Yandex Direct globally, plus Ocean Engine, Baidu Marketing, Tencent Ads and Kuaishou in China. Nothing to configure: a URL with one of these IDs is classified as paid even when it carries no UTM.

What is stored, and filtering by platform

Click IDs appear in a separate table as a type and a hash; the raw ID is never shown or exported. Click a row to filter other reports by that platform — the fastest way to see which pages and goals paid traffic actually reached. Channel ROI across platforms is in Marketing analytics.

Because only a hash is stored, ad click IDs do not identify a person — they tell you the platform, not the visitor.
