Is Canonical tracking me through the DuckDuckGo search engine?

Last time I saw DDG had nothing to do with Canonical , unless it changed . We never know now .

&t=

Through partnerships with developers and companies, DuckDuckGo has been integrated into many applications. In these partnerships, a portion of DuckDuckGo's advertising revenue is sometimes shared back. To assign advertising revenue and collect anonymous aggregate usage information, developers add a unique "&t=" parameter to searches made through their applications.

(It's taken from the DDG website, so yeah they are partners now). I feel like Canonical is mainly after money now...
